Patches and discussion for Ensoniq VFX family

Hello. I used to use a VFX-SD in high school, many moons ago, and 
liked it very much. I now have an opportunity to pick one up for 
$400. I have already downloaded the 2.1 OS and made that into a disk 
along with some blank disks (using EDE) to test its disk drive. I 
currently run an ESQ1 and really like it. 

Please let me know the things to check. If it's going to be 
a "crasher," how long will it stay up before starting to crash? Just 
till it's warm? The one at school only crashed every now and again, 
and I never saw the "keyboard calibration" errors. Is there an easy 
way to test if this is going to be a problem? I know I should test 
the floppy drive and MIDI in and out, and will do that.

It will not see the stage, just my studio, so if it's stable when I 
get it it is not going to get banged around. I also went ahead and 
downloaded a whole bunch of patches off the web to get started, as 
well as the freebie windows VFX librarian program.

I was overjoyed to find this list. Thanks in advance for any 
information you think I may find useful/interesting.
