Subject: SDX Discs

Hello ! I just purchased a SDX 7 piece system. It has 4MB Ram and no HD. I've since had a couple of weeks to get to know the console and most of the sounds. What I'd really like to have is a full disc library and also the latest OS. I wouldn't mind having a HD in there either. I installed a 500+ MB SCSI disc, but the SDX craps out during the format process ( probably too big ). I might try partitioning the drive in 20MB sections and see if that works. While the seller did include most of these discs, I am finding out that many of them have various issues. Luckily, I have OS 1.4 with fully functional backup copies. I also received a physically damaged 2.1 disc. Fortunately I was able to duplicate that disc to a new one. I have 2 copies of OS 3.11, but neither are working. Can anyone help me in obtaining the complete library and any other discs I'm missing? I attached a picture that shows what inventory I have. Here's the details:
A - These do not load at all. Most are drum kits and sounds. The factory discs are the blue and black ones on top. There are also two O/S 3.11 discs ( with no backups ) that also do not load. Unfortunately, the Bruford kits are also within these unusable discs. B - These are discs that have various issues. Most give the message of loading, but incomplete. Also have issues with sounds ( cut-offs, noises, etc. ). Some have only 2 or 3 sounds on them. C - Sound/Kit discs that appear to be fully functional. I will make backups of these immediately just in case. I've only tested these with the console triggers so far. D - O/S discs. All these appear to be working. While the 2.1 O/S disk had physical damage ( aluminum protector gone ), I was able to make a bootable backup copy. O/S 3.11 appears to be lost and I will need to find a source for a new copy. Thanks for reading and let me know if there's any way you could help me out. I''m more than willing to pay you for your time, materials, and efforts. It is also possible that I may have files you might need. I will be more than happy to share. Thanks ! - Roland
