any news on these projects? there was 2 going on. Not official from Emu of course. This is all for the love of the machine! fresh news is in a bit of a drought now. anyone know anything and what are your opinions and hopes?

It formats HD disks and it shows up as 71% but reading another forum this is actually correct and nothing to be alarmed about. So the whole 1.44mb does get formatted. I just wanna thank ebayer cpmagneticmedia even though he's probably not reading this. he was very helpful in the messaging to try and...

YEEEEEEEEEEEIHAAAAAAAAAAAHHH!!! 8-) SOLVED IT! not gonna tell ANYONE the secret REAL jumper settings for the s950 nah just kidding... in the end it was this! http://i64.tinypic.com/2rhlpvn.jpg so I don't know where Seb got his jumper idea from... who knows .... who cares!! I've found one that works!...

ok got the TEAC FD-235HFA549 ... tried VARIOUS popular jumper settings. word on the street the correct one is: |x| x x |x| |x| |x| x |x| |x| |x| x x |x| x x x x x x |x| x x |x| ^ that took ages to do that lol I hope it comes out right! EDIT: yep didn't come out right check picture below http://i67.t...

oh sweet! Seb Ligez left us with some official floppy drive documents before he went missing lol http://floppy.shugart.free.fr/docs/yedata/yedata_yd-702d-6537d.pdf yep this ye-data drive is THE BOI! it has all the right terminology I'm looking for with the high/doubledensity switching. looks like yo...

right what the h**l, I'm just gonna buy this YE-DATA drive anyway. I'll just assume that pin 34 on that big chip has been cut and bent up to be connected to the P16 blob. this MUST be something to do with the Ready signal. We shall see. I'll keep you lot updated when stuff arrives and gets done! oh ...

well?
hello?

well, I thought it would be an easy mod, until I looked closer

ok the YE-DATA YD-702D-6537D one looks promising. The mod diagram is clear. Also there happens to be a couple for sale on ebay. Never heard of 'Ye Data' though.

I wish that Sébastien Ligez dude hadn't gone AWOL. he was the ONLY man in the world that understood the s950 floppy. I bought from him before and it worked straight away out the parcel with no problems... that was my old s950... I have a new s950 now. On his site there's actually brands of floppie d...

Right I'm gonna keep this thread bumped for as long as possible until a clear answer is given to why the s950 drive is so special. There's a load of dead threads on Gearslutz regarding the s950 drive. I'm still waiting on the ebay drive, the dude's had some issue's confirming it will work because of...

that's a common thing with all the s1000's don't worry, just get into the habit of cutting slightly before the peak... some samples being easier than others ie drums loops and breaks etc.

ok news update for those who care lol. I basically just sort of gave up. I'm trying to be a music producer not a technician and I was spending all my free time (and I have little free time) pulling my hair out why I couldn't get this damn thing to work. respect to anyone who cracks it. I made a tota...

oh and in repsonse to the gotek/hxc. I love the idea of it and that people do it, but I'm all about the floppies! I just find them more magical for some reason lol

I do actually have a gotek drive that I may one day install in one of my samplers but just not the 950
