Patches and discussion for Ensoniq VFX family

Hello all, 
  Just another happy Ensoniq user here.  I have an
SQ-2 32-Voice (since new), and have had my VFX-SD
since October 2004 (looked for over 10 years for the
right one).   I also have another one coming and I
hope it gets here next week.  
  The question is that with the one I currently have,
the drive is bad and has been since I bought it (got
it for $249 at a pawn shop).  I know that there is a
site (Route 66 Studio, or something like it), that
displays that they still have the old parts for these
things.  Has anyone recently queried them or got a
drive from them?  If so, how was the experience in
dealing with them?
  I just want to know a little bit before going out
there and getting a drive to put in.
  It is weird though: the VFX has been my 'holy grail'
for many years and I went without one for so long, and
now I have two of them.  I am lucky and blessed
indeed.  They are still so musical.
  By the way, is there a way to transfer the Sequencer
program from one to another using the Sys-Ex feature,
or even the Card feature? The one with the bad drive
does not have the sequencer loaded, so I am only using
1/3 of the unit's true potential.

Thank you,
