Re: hi! new Oberheim DPX-1 user...

maybe I'm a moron, but I don't know what's the problem with DPX-1 
and EMPX at all...

is it possible to format a disk that will work on a Emulator II from 
my pc?

if Emulator II can read a floppy, the DXP-1 sample player will read 
it as well...

I "simply" need some disk formatted in emulator II format...
