Patches and discussion for Ensoniq VFX family

I was able to secure a reasonably clean SQ1 Plus 32 Voice, and  THE 
Ensoniq Ex-2 ROM card. Yet I can not find any ifno on either one. Is 
the Rom card so rare as tonot see it on  google search? Any idea of 
where to get a manual for the board?

Syntaur carries a manual as well as sounds and some other bits:

Thanks. the board didnt work out as I hoped. So I will take reasonable 
offers on the Ensoniq EX-2 rom card in case! I didnt write down what 
sound waves it added - but it did work flawlessly in the SQ1+32.

find someone who runs windows 98 as the newer OSs don't access the 
floppy drive in the proper way for the GIEBLER prg to work.

Arranging sounds in a VFX so that they match GM wouldn't be very hard, except for the drums. Does 
anyone know a convenient way to do that? Is it even possible to create a drum patch, where at least the 
most common drums would be in their GM equivalent numbers? I've also thought of some kind of 
converting software, which would change back and forth from GM midi file to VFX midi file on a 
computer.

I use mainly my VFX-SD with my Micrologic Fun sequencer program and need occasionally to mix with 
GM midi.

Um, in my manual (version 1.12) section 9 is about pitch tables. Nothing about drum maps.
