Patches and discussion for Ensoniq VFX family

MEGAPIANO WAVES were included on the Sequencer O.S. v2.00 disk,
"requires ROM O.S. Ver. 2.00 or higher, for use only with VFX-SD
version II."

We have this and OS v2.10, and will gladly copy them for you if you
send some blank disks. We'd love to zap you the files, but thusfar we
have been unsuccessful at getting the available floppy drivers to work
100% on our PCs without error.
