Thanks! I was lucky to have found a drive so quickly.
Re:
disks....I didn't have any DS DD disks around...so I tried HD ones with the 2nd
hole covered...formatted them to 720K in DOS..then to the sampler to format with
the Prophet. Them seems to load and save fine....have used the compare feature
after save with no errors appearing. Maybe the 2002 is a bit different....seems
like every machine has it's own personality and chooses to do its own
thing!
Cheers,
michael

congrats on your new drive.....BTW you can still find DS/DD discs on
eBay for about $3-4 a box
the other thing I discovered is that if they are formatted to 720K on a
PC they do NOT work....I format them on an old Macintosh with a floppy
to Mac 800K on that and they go right into the P2002
you can find an old mac with a floppy for $30-50 if you shop around
