Casio CZ/ VZ/ FZ - Pro Series

I just had the HFC emulator installed on my linn 9000 after going through my third floppy drive failure. It works great but I sure am not planning on replacing all my drives and re engineering all my gear but I see the fz drives have their own extenuating circumstances. Maybe it's time to investigate other options.
