Casio CZ/ VZ/ FZ - Pro Series

Just going off the fz1 as opposed to the 10m.

There is no memory of files after power off.That is normal.
The Fz uses sysx, the formats are peculiar to the machine.
The fz dumps in 'blocks' and needs acknowledgement from the device and therefore needs both in/out midi leads in place or the 'd' plug and special cable attaching which is not a standard pc cable.

So far I have had near zero luck using any method other than the drive.
The dump device needs selecting under the relevant menu.

I have no info on mac os.
