Hi everyone,
I would like to know if it's possible remove my VFX-SD's disk drive and put a high density one, to store more info.
The disk drive on VFX-SD is a standard drive, like those ones found at computers?
Thanks in advance,
Fabio

Hi again!
If you still have problems with the sequencer it probably needs to be loaded again. Go to:

Fabio. I had to have my disk drive changed on my SD1. The disk drive that was used back in the 90s was a generic model that could be purchased at any computer parts store back then.

Not sure where this info came from but it's incorrect, the SD and the VFXSD do not use a standard drive, Also a HD drive will not provide the ability to use HD discs without disc failures.
Try any standard drive and you will see that it will not function properly.

Thanks to all for your responses. The disk drive issue it's not problem of mine. A user in my country send me a mail telling about this. I start to think ways to solve the problem, but I fall with O.S. loading task. The only way to load O.S. it's via disk drive. So I think put a HD drive but using HD diskettes formatted in DD mode. Once I listened that a guys used HD diskettes in VFX-SD; when he/she want to format the disks, VFX-SD formatted them in Ensoniq mode. I see that you have different opinions about this issue. Anyone can tell what type of disk drive uses a VFX-SD? With this info I can help to find for a replacement unit. Again, thanks for this useful information. We're a great group.
