When I bought my 2000xl years ago, it already had a CF card reader installed, which is nice. I never thought I would need to use floppy disks, until now. Long story short, I went to my favorite neighborhood thrift store the other day, and stumbled upon a giant cache of floppy disks from legendary NYC DJ Steve Dee's own collection. His handwriting is all over them; there's tons of drum kits, synths, basses, and loops that he sampled himself. Apparently some of them were used in his MPC3000, and others in his S3000.
How would y'all suggest I crack into these things? I'm willing to buy an external floppy reader for my 2000xl, if that's the best option. I'm also considering a usb floppy reader so that I can get the samples into my computer and then maybe onto my CF card. I'm not even 100% sure if the file types on these disks will work in the 2000xl... but I'm gonna hang on to these things and find a way to tap into them one way or another, even if I have to save up for a 3000 of my own.
Any thoughts/suggestions?
