floppy drive replacement for ESI 32

Postby sliksmoke » Fri Jan 21, 2011 10:32 am

Hi Guyz
I've just registered so a Hoooj Hello from me


To business I've just bought an ESI 32 and the floppy has died, it keeps asking me to insert the floppy.
I,ve got the thing zipped and stuff but it came with a massive library on floppies. Does anyone know of a replacement for the drive? I've tried Sony MFP-920 but there are no jumpers that I can see and I've tried a Teac FD-235HF ( that was in an Akai S2000) but I don't understand the jumper configuration, subsequently that didn't work.

Thanx in advance
Slik

Hi,
this is a floppy drive for sale from germany at the moment :
http://cgi.ebay.de/Floppy-Drive-Sampler ... 1c1899f9de

depending on where you are, it might be cheaper/more worthwhile just to buy a replacement sampler(and use for spare parts) as the price of the floppy drive with postage will arise to almost the same amount as a basic esi 32 on ebay.
