Unfortunatly the manual has been
sold. Sorry but it seems when I posted my inquiry, others in
the group saw it too. There was a number of offers that came up
for it since I posted my reply to you.
May I suggest that you contact
Wine Country and purchase the original manual from them for $24.95 plus
shipping. I do beleive that they will ship out of the US. The manual is quite
extensive and would take too long to copy and send you.
As far as the disk drive goes. I
seem to have figured out what you were talking about in the twist of the wires.
I made a Sony MPF420-1 work in my Prophet. It seems to work better than the
original drive so I'm keeping it in my P2K. This drive is equipped with a drive
select jumper which has to be set to DS0. Then it will work. I also found that
the floppy ribbon cable was in backwards (meaning the red stripe went to pin 34
instead of pin 1.) In a PC the select the DS0 by twisting a few wires to change
the default DS1 to act as DS0. Any how I wish you the best of luck finding your
way around the P2K.
Regards,
Skip

> Welcome to the group. I'm paticularly interested in the floppy drive "Fix" Even though mine is working there are others that are not so lucky. The inversion of the wires to the connector is interesting. I see that you may also in need of a manual. If you don't have a manual you can be lost when programming sounds on the P2K. It just so happens I have an extra original manual I'm willing to part with for about $10.00. Again any info you can provide on the floppy retro would be helpful to all in the group.

holidays these days , i will try to put it down clearly when i reach
him again. He semt surprised to hear the drives were REALLY hard to
find, and didn't get it that the Wine country ones did not allow you to
format.
However, just to confirm a note at the P2K page, i have been able to
download samples to the prophet with a MAC running Alchemy3.0.
Then i understood the P2K manual quote about receiving only on the
SOUND number that the P2K is set to. What i did, is i got in the Sound
number mode, EXecute it, and then, even though ALCHEMY asks for the
Sample number it should be received on, the right one is always the one
defined by the prophet.
I wasn't able to upload smples to the Mac , maybe problems with the 12
bit reso or those packets of data that SCI had the short samples been
filled with when not reaching the regular size...
Also, i converted the smple rate to 32250 approx before download .
I didnot even try the 44khz rate
So, i now have a little collection of waveforms to work with.
I hope i can velocity crossfade 4 of them.
Thanks for the manual offer, is that the black hard cover filer type?
Where are you located?
