they dont work wrong type of sector format

the hxc ref f is best

im working on a slim floppy and a external 34 connector bracket  

i already created the bracket and the external case for the rev f hxc drive 

but because of the emax requires a physical drive present or it wont boot 

its just a pain in removing the floppy emulator drive as the emax just stops functioning properly

so my next quest is to do a dual slim floppy 34 pin external so that theres a physical drive connected with a power switch to flip between the 2 connections

but the external hxc rev f works as long as its plugged in at startup

but the slim floppy is a better idea as a dual item for other samplers also as it allows you to do sample instrument convertions as the hxc software does not allow like efe or efa on ensoniqs 

which means unless your doing new sampling its hard to get cdrom instruments onto images or wave files  or instruments you have backed up onto hard drive

so it makes sense to have a cheap slim floppy drive present always as it allows you to load in floppy disks that have not been imaged and then use the hxc as a back up drive for storage

also on the ensoniq samplers if there is no floppy drive you cant format hd or load in fx files as it is there is still no software that can move fx fil;es around so owners of dsp fx algo disks waveboy/syntaur you cant use them with out a physical disk
