And, BTW, if it were a mac disk, you would not be able to read it in an old PC as someone has suggested.
How about doing a MIDI sysex dump from the unit (if you still have it and it works) to your DP machine? The two connected via MIDI of course.īooter wrote:I'm pretty sure you were talking about Roland formatted floppy disks right? Those can only be read by a Roland synth or samper (my XP-50 has a floppy drive too.) So the advice about buying floppy drives for your mac or finding a PC won't help. Let me know in PM if this would be helpful.Īctually there is another external drive that works in Tiger (haven't tried it on my SL machine) and that's from Imation. But I should first verify this reader works on my new computer. In a pinch, you could mail me your floppies and I could upload them then send you a ZIP file, as it can't be all that big (MIDI data is small by today's standards). It saved me, as I too had some legacy data on floppies and didn't know what to do.
But this is a reliable floppy reader (USB based). And I haven't even tried it since switching to an Intel Mac and Snow Leopard a few months back, so there's no guarantee.Īnyway, it's from LaCie - a brand I usually avoid (for hard drives).
