Re: [Ensoniq-VFX-SD] disk format problems

2008-01-29 by Jonas Håkansson

Hi!
I have a VFX SD and it came with the old type of discs. But I have been using new type of discs to 3,5" HD and it works just fine. No need to put any tape on the extra hole either.
Regards Jonas.

Normal disks (HD, High Densitiy 1,44M) don't work . You need 720k floppies (DD, Dual Density).
They aren't easy to come by these days. Maybe in some music stores dealing with old synths
or search the net.
