Patches and discussion for Ensoniq VFX family

Hans (and any other interested parties who can help me)

A few weeks ago you responded to my request for information about OS
for SD1/VFXSD. Thanks, but I have a few more questions. I followed your
directions (Press and hold PRESETS....) and learned that the VFX-SD
must have been upgraded because the display reads as follows:

ENSONIQ SD1
SOFTWARE - Rom V 3.00

I also visited the website you suggested, as well as a few others, and
now I am totally lost. I tried to download SD1 V 3.00 (remember my disk
has been corrupted) but I can't fiure out how to transfer the file I've
received from the PC to the SD1.

I am a trained pianist, but I have to admit I have no knowledge, and
even less understanding, of this technological stuff.

Thanks for whatever help you can provide.

Best wishes,
Michael

I think you need the disk extractor program...Geibler disk extractor, should be available for download....if not I have and can send. This converts files so vfx can read.

I tried to download from Giebler site but kept getting error messages.
If you have it, please send it to the following eail address:

Michael,
There are other sites to download the ede109.exe shareware program, e.g.
http://www.soundcentral.com/ (look under Ensoniq-> Util).
You should be aware that programs like this accessing 720k floppies
(formatted with 800k by using 10 sectors per track) cannot be used under NT,
w2k, or XP (i.e. anything NT based). Even under Win98 (and I guess it would
be the same for Win95 and Me) you have to follow the following procedure:
press CTRL while booting Windows to get into the extended start menu and
choose 'Command Prompt' (or similar, I can't tell the wording 'cause I got a
German system - but it should be option 5). Then you get a 'clean' DOS
environment which allows the program to write the disk properly. Opening a
command prompt window or even 'restart in DOS mode' would fail: the program
pretends to work, however it would write only 9 sectors per track... which
leaves you with a messy disk.

I hope this helps.

Hans
