Patches and discussion for Ensoniq VFX family

I think(?) the problem with the fuses could be that there are 
actually two types of fuses: Fastblows and Slowblows.
Make shure you get the Slowblows as they can whithstand more spikes 
in the powerline.

Another thing could be that the VFX-SD gets VERY hot inside and that 
this heating could make the fuses blow ´out of time´.

Why is everybody talking about EDM CLONES?

I have EDE to make disks from PC to the VFX-SD? Huh??
Why use clones?

EDE makes a VFX-SD from an existing EDE-fileimage.
I guess the point is : 
   to create fileimages from existing floppies, 
   to create fileimages from SysEx files, 
   to create SysEx files from diskimages
   to have the program to run under current OS...

Hi,
Fred is right. 
Making full copies of existing disks and merging / reorganising 
sounds / songs from existing floppies or SysEx-files using SysEx and 
midi is qiet complicated. So I asked for a solution that makes 
managging disks easier, as EDE is only usefull, when you have 
existing imagefiles... By the way, I can´t get the program running 
properly, neihter under WinXP nor in Win98. The program creates 
disks, but my VFX-SD can´t read it "disk not formatted" :(

might be the floppy HD versus DD idea
VFX needs DD

ahead of time you can fake out a HD disk
to act like a DD
before formatting by blocking up a hole if i remember correctly

The VFX-SD can format and read HD disk as well. I still have some DD 
floppies, but the EDE can´t write them properly also.
Does the EDE need "older" hardawre to work properly?

My best guess: send the .EDE file to some VFX-SD
fellow that has the same OS configuration and work
things out between the 2 of you.

As for the EDE clone, I'll soon post a quick-and-dirty
"how I made my EDE-like diskimages". Stay tuned !
