I have a feeling this need an IDE (PATA) floppy. I have four PC in house an=

dnone 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 als=

onot guaranteed to work since they depend on the firmware I have) or buy as=

econdhand PC that has a floppy as I doubt a USB floppy work work either(sin=

ce it does not have direct control of what actually gets written to the dis=

k). The nice thing about IDE is that it does not do a great deal morethan s=

eek to track and then write the whole track which is what I think theChicke=

nSys software probably does.

There are options on the site to write a bootable ZIP drive but they are fo=

rWin98 only.

Kind regards=2C nick. 		 	   		  =
