Re: [Ensoniq-VFX-SD] disk format problems

2008-01-31 by Claus

Have also been using 1.44 discs here. When reformatted in the VFX-SD, they all worked for me. Most of them are over 10 years old, still works :) But maybe it's because it's not the original drive in my unit, I don't know.


Happy playing!

- Claus, DK.

Hi!


I have a VFX SD and it came with the old type of discs. But I have been using new type of discs to 3,5" HD and it works just fine. No need to put any tape on the extra hole either.


Regards Jonas.

Normal disks (HD, High Densitiy 1,44M) don't work . You need 720k floppies (DD, Dual Density).

They aren't easy to come by these days. Maybe in some music stores dealing with old synths

or search the net.
