Yeah, if you have the brackets and adapters and a spare slim floppy made up and ready to drop in I'd be willing to purchase that and some of your special sound banks. I would just need to send you the SD memory cards....
contact me offline and let me know what you want for the slim floppy and the sound cards and mounting brackets....

Well, tried Windows XP 64 bit with 64 bit omniflop drivers...NO GO

Error 89! etc etc...
EMXP won't work in any of the above OS configurations on my
system:
ASUS P5E MOBO with TEAC FDD running 4 gig Patriot DDR2 800Mhz RAM and Intel Core2Quad 2.4 ghz CPU.
When I say won't work I mean it wont see my internal IDE ZIP drive, a FAT32 formatted CF card or a Floppy disk formatted in my EMAX I OS SE rev 1.1 as usable media and gives me errors to the effect that the media is NOT EMAX usable etc etc..
When I test disks I formatted on my Emax I with a computer here at work (Commodore Desktop running Windows 95-yes ancient) using EMX through DOS, the Emax I formaated disks test fine. This tells me it isn't a matter of a bad floppy DD alignment in my EMAX I (The FDD is not the ONLY thing it will not see, anyway) for if that were the case (No offense to Jammie's theory, it's a good one nonetheless!) the Emax I formatted disks would not check out fine, nor be able to be read by the Win95 system here at work. IE: EMX would see the disks as bad, too.
So, I deduce this down to some kind of hardware/driver/EMXP compatibility issue with my system and now ask any of YOU who are running know GOOD EMXP systems to please share what your FDD/MOBO configurations are so I can build a system that will successfuly run EMXP and finally get some sounds into my EMAX I
Your patience and great kindness
(ESPECIALLY TED!) with my myriad questions and issues throughout this process has been greatly appreciated.
EMU users are the best

you get 35 banks of 512k samples in glorious 8bits
compressed this is compressed from 16bits audio of 1mb
so you get 1mb of sample content in each bank at
the highest frequency of the emax if i do it at 22050khz you can get nearly 2mb
of 16bit audio content
as seeing most samples dont even reach a frequency
of 11khz
22.5khz is good enough
as proven by me with my rhodes suitcase piano for
the ensoniq asr10
with 6 layers with 15 multisamples per layer and it
is only 8mb in size with each sample of 12 seconds each
which is shown on the sound examples in my sound
cload
i use appogee convertors that are 192khz 24bit but
i onl.y sample at a frequency of \32khz for the t seires 24 for the t series and
22.5 for kurzweil and yamaha sy85/99 and eps and asr10
so now you get 35 banks to 1 cf card of 32mb/64/128
depending on what cf cards are available cheaply
