Sequential circuits samplers

The disk controller isn't wierd, just old. It's a western digital 1771. 
The problem may be that it's single density. I don't know if the 
current PC controllers implement single density. You won't be able to 
read the disk through the dos file system. Your only hope is to access 
the PC hardware directly or perhaps through a low level BIOS interface. 
It would be easier to just dump it over midi.
