Patches and discussion for Ensoniq VFX family

Michael,
There are other sites to download the ede109.exe shareware program, e.g.
http://www.soundcentral.com/ (look under Ensoniq-> Util).
You should be aware that programs like this accessing 720k floppies
(formatted with 800k by using 10 sectors per track) cannot be used under NT,
w2k, or XP (i.e. anything NT based). Even under Win98 (and I guess it would
be the same for Win95 and Me) you have to follow the following procedure:
press CTRL while booting Windows to get into the extended start menu and
choose 'Command Prompt' (or similar, I can't tell the wording 'cause I got a
German system - but it should be option 5). Then you get a 'clean' DOS
environment which allows the program to write the disk properly. Opening a
command prompt window or even 'restart in DOS mode' would fail: the program
pretends to work, however it would write only 9 sectors per track... which
leaves you with a messy disk.

I hope this helps.

Hans
