Ooh, now... There used to be two types of interface for 720k floppies,
Shugart and "PC" (it may have a proper name). Old samplers and stuff
quite often used the Shugart drives, in particular Casio and Ensoniq.
Rainer Buchty's site
http://www.buchty.net describes how you can make up
an adaptor cable to use a PC 720k floppy in a Casio FZ-1. In theory it
should work for Emaxes, Ensoniq kit and other machines that use the same
connection. IIRC it's just a case of swapping a few wires around.
This might not be what you need, or it might be exactly what you need.
I haven't tried it myself. Let me know how you get on.
Gordon.
