Re: Sysex OS for SD-1

Yes, the Gibeler software seems to run fine on my machine. I just 
don't have an internal 3.5" floppy drive, nor do I have a slot for 
one.

I'll just buy a blank floppy, burn the Gibeler program and teh disk 
image to a CDR and carry it with me where ever I go. When I find a PC 
with floppy, I'll do it then.
