Subject: Sharing SDX discs

Thanks to some advice from a European compatriot and fellow SDX owner,
here's how to share SDX sample discs or software.

First, download RAWwrite:

Simmons SDX disks aren't readable by PC or Mac. Installing RAWwrite
lets you create an image of the 3.5 disk that you can use to make a
3.5 copy, in your computer's 3.5 drive (new Mac owners are out of
luck).

You should also be able to e-mail this image to another user (a 3.5
disk holds only 1.38 meg, smaller that many MP3 files). If they
download RAWwrite as well, you can share disks via e-mail.
