Hi Wizards! I'm looking for a way to backup/store my P2K floppy disc on my pc harddrive. I don't think that making backup copies on a second set of floppies reliable enough, so I'm looking for some kind of software routine for HD storage. I'm aware of the SoundDesigner program for mac, but I've read that the copy for download is faulty. Has a pc-program been developed for the P2K just like the EMX program for the Emax? Best regards Brian

AFAIK it's been long reported that there is no way of reading Prophet discs from PC or Mac's. Apparently the physical formating of the disks is different. So it wouldn't even be possible to write software to do so. ac

I d imagine so. Anybody know how to write the software?

Can't you get a floppy drive that will read the P2K discs and hook that to a PC and use software to interpret the different format?D----- Original Message -----From: acSent: Thursday, September 28, 2006 11:24 AMSubject: Re: [prophet2000] P2K floppy disc backup on pcAFAIK it's been long reported that there is no way of reading Prophet

Yeh, they ve been saying that for years. At least you can do SDS dumps to/from the Prophet using Translator.
