I found a website on Ensoniq SQ80s that has some great info 
on modifying PC floppy drives to work with samplers and 
synths( the example in the FAQ is for a Casio FZ sampler)
the site is :http://www.buchty.net/ensoniq/index.html

I once was able to get an older Teac 3.5 in floppy to work 
with an EMU Emax SE by changing a jumper wire on the drive.
