Sequential circuits samplers

OK, sorry for the delay in posting.

I'm having some fun with my Prophet 2000, but I've yet to crack the
case open (again)to see what version OS I'm running, or see what chips
are installed.

The loops are annoying, no doubt about it.  I'm not sure I'm
interested in updating the chips and/or OS.  So, I'm wondering if
anyone can help me with these disks - can the sounds be "fixed",
copied to a new floppy, or the same floppy, and sent to me?  Or is it
an OS update that will resolve this problem?

What's involved, exactly, in fixing these sample files?  

My apologies if I've overlooked the obvious - maybe this is spelled
out somewhere in the database.

In other news:  what's a reasonably priced outboard unit that would
load samples (from other sources,like .wav files), that could be
cabled to this keyboard?  I mean, why rely on floppies all the time?

Thanks so much.
