Vintage Synth Repair

I've never dealt with Route66 either but I've heard of other 
experiences such as SynthX's. I am a member of the Ensoniq Mirage group:

Search the post threads at the Yahoo group and you'll see some of the 
issues with Route66.

BTW....There used to be a site about DSS/Mirage disk drives and 
compatibility between the two, but I haven't been able to find it 
recently. I'll look around in my old files to see if I kept any info on 
this...(might take a while)....seems like I did. Also the fairly common 
TEAC FD235HF3240 will work with a Mirage..(kinda). Maybe (?) this is 
true with a DSS (?). I always wanted a DSS and an 
MS20....anyway.....I'm still looking for a good replacement Panasonic 
JU324/364 drive for one of Mirages....just in case you have a box of 
them laying around.
