Kind regards, nick<br>> <br>> A fried of mine had an Ensoniq, and he suggested that you should check with <br>> rubber chicken software, who apparently have such for download.<br>> <http://chickensys.com/kb/eps-asr/index.html><br>> which might get you the stuff you need. Good luck.<br><br></div><div>I have a feeling this need an IDE (PATA) floppy. I have four PC in house and</div><div>none of them have a floppy. Tested the software using VM and it failed the</div><div>boot disk write operation since Ensoniq had a very proprietary format.</div><div><br></div><div>If nobody has a set then I either have to order some (not expensive but also</div><div>not guaranteed to work since they depend on the firmware I have) or buy a</div><div>secondhand PC that has a floppy as I doubt a USB floppy work work either</div><div>(since it does not have direct control of what actually gets written to the </div><div>disk). The nice thing about IDE is that it does not do a great deal more</div><div>than seek to track and then write the whole track which is what I think the</div><div>ChickenSys software probably does.</div><div><br></div><div>There are options on the site to write a bootable ZIP drive but they are for</div><div>Win98 only.</div><div><br></div><div>Kind regards, nick.</div> </div></body>
