Nick -
It says it's a double-sided, double-density disk.  Is there a particular brand I should be buying these days?

      are you using the right kind of disk?  many old samplers are very sensitive to SD/DD/HD disk types.

      Hi -
I have an EII+HD with one floppy drive.  When I try to format a blank floppy the machine says, "Use Floppy Sftwe & Erase Mem? Y/N."  I press YES and then it says "Loading Software," and then says "Drive not ready."  What am I doing wrong?  (The disk does not have the write-protect notch on it, either.)
Thanks,Tyler

Move to quarantaine

This moves the raw source file on disk only. The archive index is not changed automatically, so you still need to run a manual refresh afterward.
