Patches and discussion for Ensoniq VFX family

The floppy drive is a DD (double-density) drive, not an HD one. For  
the best possible results, use DD diskettes. If you have none other  
available then you _can_ use HD diskettes, but they're really intended  
for use with HD drives, so may deteriorate and lose their data more  
quickly.

Replacement floppy drives for the VFX can be bought from Route 66  
Studios, http://route66studios.com/ .

An alternative that might be a longer-term solution is to replace the  
actual floppy drive with a floppy drive emulator, which offers read- 
write capability of floppy drive images off an SD card: see http://www.torlus.com/floppy/ 
.

Best wishes,
