Nope, but there's a workaround.

Donate it to Hollow Sun. That's perfect for him.

BTW, the Kitten was my first synth. I LOVED them.

So, to get the samples of floppy. You need to sign a pact with Satan; in 
other words, find a PC. Mac weren't designed to do "illegal" things, so you 
need the PC.

Once your conscience is seared enough to actually use the forbidden devil 
demon computer system that crashes every 3.25376 minutes and always 
corrupts the kernel files, download AkaiDisk from the Chicken Systems web 
site (under downloads).

If you are using XP get the Boot disk, because to use AkaiDisk you need to 
use Win98, and the boot disk allows you to boot up in Win98 so you can use 
AkaiDisk (also called ADisk).

I won't elaborate here, I'll let you just read the instructions - if you 
have any questions contact me via email or call if you want.

(I'm kidding about the PC, BTW...)
