Hiya, Jeff. I have an SDX and a pretty complete collection of what 
samples they offered. To share SDX sample discs or software, first 
you need to download RAWwrite here:

http://uranus.it.swin.edu.au/~jn/linux/rawwrite.htm

Simmons SDX files aren't readable by PC or Mac. Installing RAWwrite 
lets you create an image of the 3.5 Simmons disk that you can use to 
make a 3.5 copy, in your computer's 3.5 drive (hope you still have 
one).

I haven't tried it yet, but 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. If all else fails, snail mail can do the job.

You can contact me through my Yahoo email.
