Giebler Enterprises (http;//www.midifile.com) has a selection of ensoniq disk and file tools for DOS. I have personally used their Disk managers and Sequencer Conversion software for SQ-80 and SD-1, as well as their MIDI Manager. I haven't tried running them in a DOS emulation yet, though. There is also a set of Linux disk tools for the SQ-80 at http://www.buchty.net/ensoniq/index.html I've built it but haven't had a chance to try it yet. best, ernie On Thu, 18 Nov 2004 10:06:28 -0800, Sean Bolton <musound@xxxxxxx> wrote: > On Nov 18, 2004, at 2:32 AM, Clemens Ladisch wrote: > > > > David Corkill wrote: > >> A friend has a stack of old floppy disks containing tracks created on > >> an > >> ensoniq synthesizer.
