Patches and discussion for Ensoniq VFX family

you shouldn't use HD floppies in a DD drive, the floppies will wear out 
faster.

Error : Bad Device ID"


Get a blank floppy and see if you can format it and save banks to it.
That will help rule out the floppy as the cause of the problem.

I believe the SD sees all floppies as Single Density even if they have the 
HD cutout on the floppy - so it shouldn't matter what you use.

  Hi everyone, I'm new to this forum having just acquired a VFX-SD.

  I am enjoying using it and exploring it's odd menus, but am unable to load 
the sequencer thanks to the following error when I click 'Load':

  "Disk Error : Bad Device ID"

  Is this because the disk drive needs replacing or is it more likely that 
it's just the one single disk i have is corrupted?

  Has anyone else seen this error?

  I thank you for your help!
