Hello everyone!

• So I bought a S950 not too long ago, with the GOTEK floppy emulator drive installed. Whenever I boot up the S950 and try to load samples, or anything really for that matter, it gives me the message 'OOPS! Disk is unprepapred. You must format it.'
• There is little reason to buy overpriced “pre-configured” floppy emulators for most studio gear. Aside from Lotharek HxC, most other floppy emulator units on eBay are simply inexpensive Gotek units flashed with a freely available operating system firmware known as FlashFloppy and configured with sound disks, and other content freely.

I think these two parts are the most critical and will really increase the longevity of this great machine.
