i don't have an EiiHD. �i just figured it was the first place to look. �what does the manual say it wants to see?

i know the DPX�wants DD and�will not see HD disks properly. it will actually try and format / save HD disks but will not read them again...

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
