Good luck. I have a feeling this need an IDE (PATA) floppy. I have four PC in house and none of them have a floppy. Tested the software using VM and it failed the boot disk write operation since Ensoniq had a very proprietary format. If nobody has a set then I either have to order some (not expensive but also not guaranteed to work since they depend on the firmware I have) or buy a secondhand PC that has a floppy as I doubt a USB floppy work work either (since it does not have direct control of what actually gets written to the disk). The nice thing about IDE is that it does not do a great deal more than seek to track and then write the whole track which is what I think the ChickenSys software probably does. There are options on the site to write a bootable ZIP drive but they are for Win98 only. Kind regards, nick. |
