IT DOES "NOT" INCLUDE THE SYNTHESIZER / SAMPLER / SEQUENCER THAT IT IS SHOWN FITTED INTO !! I REPEAT.... YOU ARE "NOT" GETTING THE SYNTHESIZER / SAMPLER / SEQUENCER DEVICE WITH A FLOPPY EMULATOR DRIVE ALREADY INSTALLED IN IT !! I CANNOT MAKE THIS ANY CLEARER !!!! THESE DEVICES ARE FLOPPY DRIVE EMULATORS SO THEY WILL WORK AT A SIMILAR SPEED (+10% INCREASE) COMPARED TO AN ORIGINAL FLOPPY DRIVE. THEY ARE "NOT" HARD DRIVE EMULATORS, THEY ARE "NOT" ZIP DRIVE EMULATORS, THEY ARE "NOT" CD ROM EMULATORS THEY ARE "NOT" SCSI / IDE SOLID STATE DRIVES. ▓▓▓▓▓▓▓▓▓▒▒▒▒▒▒▒▒▒▒░░░░░░░░░ BASIC USER OPERATION INFORMATION & WHICH DRIVE SHOULD I GET ? ▓▓▓▓▓▓▓▓▓▒▒▒▒▒▒▒▒▒▒░░░░░░░░░ It is literally a 'plug-in and play' setup. 'EVERYTHING' you need to fit the unit is included. You can LOAD / SAVE & FORMAT any image loaded into the emulator's flash memory. It works exactly like the real floppy drive, but without the hassle of dodgy disks & read/write errors. This drive now comes with a choice of pre-fitted OLED displays, which give info including :- FILE NAME, FOLDER NAME, DIRECTORY LEVEL, CURRENT DISK TRACK, CURRENT HEAD LOCATION, DISK WRITING. It also supports FOLDER & SUB-FOLDER NAVIGATION for easy organisation of your files and folders. You can choose whether you require your drive to have a rotary encoder or not, as well as which display you prefer. We have options to cover all budgets & requirements and our drives are professionally built to 'your' specifications. To do this, use the drop-down menu above to select which type drive you would like. Here are the full list of 6 drive models that we provide :- (SEE ITEM PICTURES FOR MORE DETAILS) **PLEASE NOTE, SOME AUCTIONS MAY SHOW PICTURES OF INSTALLATIONS WITH OUR OLDER DRIVE MODELS THAT ARE DISCONTINUED. 16x2 BLACK STD SHELL Standard display [NO Rotary] (with a choice of oled tint, led colour, knob) 16x2 BEIGE STD SHELL Standard display [NO Rotary] (with a choice of oled tint, led colour, knob) 16x2 BLACK STD SHELL Standard display [Rotary] (with a choice of oled tint, led colour, knob) 16x2 BEIGE STD SHELL Standard display [Rotary] (with a choice of oled tint, led colour, knob) 21x4 BLACK PRO SHELL Large display (with a choice of oled tint, led colour, knob) 21x4 BEIGE PRO SHELL Large display (with a choice of oled tint, led colour, knob) **FOR SOME QD MODELS ONLY (S220 / S700 / X7000 / SQD-8 / MDF1 / PR100 / MT100 / MKS100) LIMITED STOCKS AVAILABLE. WHEN THEY'RE GONE, THEY'RE GONE !! **18x4 BLACK STD SHELL Large display [NO Rotary] (with a choice of oled tint, led colour, knob) **18x4 BLACK STD SHELL Large display [Rotary] (with a choice of oled tint, led colour, knob) **18x4 BEIGE STD SHELL Large display [NO Rotary] (with a choice of oled tint, led colour, knob) **18x4 BEIGE STD SHELL Large display [Rotary] (with a choice of oled tint, led colour, knob) Now you can customise your drive with a choice of oled tint, led colour and knob colour. Here are the options :- * OLED TINT : NONE [default] / light blue / dark blue / green / pink / red / amber/yellow LED COLOUR : green [default] / blue / red / amber / yellow ROTARY KNOB : black [default] / white *(Check the Mix & Match information shown in the picture above.) [16x2] equals the number of characters and the number of lines on the OLED display, so 2 lines, 16 characters per line. [21x4] 4 lines (2 standard and 1 double height) and 21 characters per line. We recommend a rotary controller is essential for drive setups that come with more than 200 (non-blank) disk images on the key. You can still navigate without but it is much easier with one fitted. The PRO shell drives come with the rotary already fitted as standard. ALL drives come with the enhanced 435 boards with 384kb RAM onboard and 288mhz processor.* (see information in the picture above comparing the standard drives with our drives). ▓▓▓▓▓▓▓▓▓▒▒▒▒▒▒▒▒▒▒░░░░░░░░░ MORE USEFUL INFORMATION ABOUT THE FLOPPY EMULATOR DRIVE AND FEATURES ▓▓▓▓▓▓▓▓▓▒▒▒▒▒▒▒▒▒▒░░░░░░░░░ Our amplified sound module board is pre-fitted inside the drive to emulate the sound of the floppy drive stepper motor.* *sound mod can be turned off in configuration if required / currently not supported for QD or single track drive emulators. For devices that require an auto-boot into an Operating System, the drive will automatically load from the latest O/S disk image every time the machine powers on. Nearly all disk images have been personally converted from our large collection of sound libraries. Many are from our own music projects (spanning 30+ years) and are fully exclusive to this pack. We only ever use 100% genuine Sandisk USB memory keys with our drives for the long-term performance reliability. They are always unobtrusive nano-size and NEVER less than 16GB in size. THE 16GB USB KEY PROVIDED CAN USUALLY* STORE BETWEEN 9,000 & 20,000 DISK IMAGES, DEPENDING ON THE FORMAT YOUR DEVICE REQUIRES, MUCH MORE THAN 100 OR 1000 IMAGE MODELS. *Quickdisk formatted drives can provide up to a massive 70,000 disk images on a single 16GB key. Our drives always have the latest stable version of the 'fully HXC compatible' 'FlashFloppy+PLUS' firmware installed which gets regular updates and improvements. We have been a full supporter of Flashfloppy since it's origins in 2016 and help with testing with its developer Keir Fraser. ALL OUR DRIVES NOW COME WITH THE ENHANCED 435 MAINBOARDS AS STANDARD LOADED WITH FLASHFLOPPY+PLUS FIRMWARE, GIVING MUCH IMPROVED PERFORMANCE. The 435 main boards have a big increase in onboard ram (384kb compared to the standard 32kb Artery or even the original 64kb STM32). This means the drive can handle large disk formats such as High Density .hfe images of 6MB and above without even breaking a sweat. The original 32kb/64kb drives really struggle with any disk image files over 2MB in size. They also have a much faster processing speed running at 288Mhz (compared to the standard 72Mhz Artery & STM32). The emulators are still fully backwards compatible for piece of mind and we charge no more for the enhanced model than others selling the standard drives. Flashfloppy+ is without a doubt 'the' No.1 floppy emulator firmware there is! Love your music hardware?? Our drives will give it the best professional look and greatly improved functionality at a great price. No doubt, as you're replacing the floppy drive in your device with this emulator, you may well have a collection of floppy disks that you have saved your work to that you don't want to lose. There are several methods to create disk images from real floppy disks with your computer, the one suitable to your device will be on an instructional .pdf document provided on your USB key. If you have no way to convert your own disk images, we provide a service where you can send your disks to us by post and we will convert them all for you. After conversion, we send the disk image files via a private 'googledrive' link, then return the real disks back to you safely in the mail. More information is available in the drive pack, or see below to contact us direct. PLEASE NOTE :- ALL OUR DRIVES ARE BUILT TO 'YOUR' SPECIFICATIONS ON ORDER, PLEASE ALLOW 1 TO 3 DAYS (depending on back-orders) FOR YOUR DRIVE TO BE COMPLETED. REMEMBER - MOST OF OUR DRIVE INSTALLATIONS ARE STRAIGHT-FORWARD BUT SOME DEVICES CAN BE MORE COMPLICATED. IF YOU DO NOT HAVE THE KNOWLEDGE OR EXPERIENCE REQUIRED THEN PLEASE GET A TECHNICIAN OR A QUALIFIED PERSON TO INSTALL IT FOR YOU. ▓▓▓▓▓▓▓▓▓▒▒▒▒▒▒▒▒▒▒░░░░░░░░░ COPYRIGHT IMAGES OF EMULATOR DRIVES / MUSIC DEVICES USED IN THIS AUCTION ▓▓▓▓▓▓▓▓▓▒▒▒▒▒▒▒▒▒▒░░░░░░░░░ *ALL PHOTO IMAGES & INTELLECTUAL PROPERTY USED IN THIS AUCTION ARE COPYRIGHT CPMAGNETICMEDIA LTD.

Created with Eselt - Auction Templates for eBay Sellers Payment Shipping We only ship internationally with full tracking using DPD (either via Packlink or direct), for UK we use DPD's fully tracked "Next Day" service for 100% piece of mind (ours and yours). We only use Evri when there is no DPD service to your location. DO NOT ask us to remove tracking for a cheaper service. European non-UK buyers, our IOSS &EORI numbers, are displayed clearly on your package. If you are registered as a business and have an EORI number, please let us know as it will speed up the customs process. International non-European buyers, where ebay has not already collected the Sales/Import Tax for your order, there may be a customs charge depending on your location. Please DO NOT message us to mark the customs value as less than the value of the items to escape import charges. This is essentially asking us to commit tax fraud and is illegal. When purchasing separate multiple items from us, ebay cannot calculate the correct shipping. When you cannot use the 'add to basket' and request total, You ONLY pay what it costs us to ship and will be refunded any excess funds vs the exact shipping cost. Combining postage does not mean paying the same as one item. The extra weight, size, insurance value and delivery location all factor in. We use DPD's Drop-off service, so when we mark an item as despatched, it can take up to 24hrs to get items to the collection point and update tracking information. We highly recommend using the website 'parcelsapp' or (google search for link) for a much more detailed tracking service. Returns We will accept returns in the event that we cannot fix any issues via our online technical support. Shipping addresses are taken direct from ebay, so if an item is returned to us for having an incorrect/incomplete shipping address, you are responsible for covering our costs for re-delivery. International Buyers must pay for return shipping costs. Any buyers falsely claiming the item received is 'Not as Described' to get around this will be reported to ebay for abusing the returns policy and blocked from any future business with us. Any drives returned to us that have clearly been damaged or opened or tampered with in any way, will not be refunded.
