I have a feeling this need an IDE (PATA) floppy. I have four PC in house andnone of them
have a floppy. Tested the software using VM and it failed theboot disk write operation
since Ensoniq had a very proprietary format.
If nobody has a set then I either have to order some (not expensive but alsonot guaranteed
to work since they depend on the firmware I have) or buy asecondhand PC that has a floppy
as I doubt a USB floppy work work either(since it does not have direct control of what
actually gets written to the disk). The nice thing about IDE is that it does not do a
great deal morethan seek to track and then write the whole track which is what I think
theChickenSys software probably does.
There are options on the site to write a bootable ZIP drive but they are forWin98 only.
Kind regards, nick.
Hi All,
Just got my ASR-10 back from a few years on loan. Somewhere down the
line, probably at some gig, they lost the Iomega ZIP-100 and the
original set of floppies I had. These are nigh on impossible to
recreate since they are not actually any windows format to make them
Ensoniq bootable. Does anybody have a 3.5 boot disk with a version of
OS later than 2.01 (I think this was the version that supported the
SCSI driver). I will happily pay postage and all that. I want to get
this running to work on the Bristol CS-80 emulator using the
polypressure features of the ASR. Kind regards, nick
A fried of mine had an Ensoniq, and he suggested that you should check with
rubber chicken software, who apparently have such for download.

which might get you the stuff you need. Good luck.
