question about the floppy disk reader

2010-08-16 by chabot652002

Hello Everybody,

I have owned a VFX-SD from 1990 to 1995.

I originally joined this group to ask questions for a friend of mine.

But to talk and read about the VFX + the fact that i also own a Fizmo (and love the trans waves) gave me the idea to get another VFXSD. 

So now that the VFX is back into my studio, i have a very boring question to ask: is the floppy disk reader standard?

Mine is working fine but i guess one day it will break.

Among the members of this forum, i guess there must be people who had to replace their disk reader. So can we use any kind of reader or we must find a special one for the VFX?

Thanks for your help.

Is it possible to use HD disquettes? I also forgot this detail 15 years later...

Jacques
