Hi Victor, After listening to your mp3 file I'm thinking the possiblity of the keyboard ribbon being incorrectly plugged in. The reason I say this is... past...
... Interesting! and I agree with that. I my fist post, I assumed that everything was correctly plugged like coming out of factory but you said that you bough...
hi everyone, I'm a new happy owner of a Mirage DSK-1. I bought it of the bay for pretty much nothing. The only drawback is that it came with no OS disk, no...
Welcome Thomas, And welcome to the recurring open source discussion (I really need to update that FAQ). The OS is not ours to "open source". It is still...
I guess you are right. I'm gonna give it a shot. I opened it today, and cleaned everything that I could. The disk drive looks ok and is hungry for that os...
Hello all, I just picked up a rackmount Mirage for a song and have spent the last few weeks waiting on my OS disks to come in the mail. They finally arrived...
Odd. "ud" means unformatted disk and essentially means that the Mirage is not finding a bootable OS on the disk - so it could be the drive, could be the...
I happened to have two spare shugart 720K floppy drives in an old Tandy that hasn't seen use in a long while. I'm a bit handy with this sort of thing so I...
Hey there, I have a dead mirage. it is free to the first person that will pay shipping or come out to Marshall, North Carolina (or Asheville, NC where I work)...
Hi Tony, I would be interested in your broken Mirage if shipping cost is not too expensive. Those keyboard are not scars in Canada neither... I live In ...
Hi group. I have an old Ensoniq Mirage, which needs a new power transformer to get it back up and running again. It's been in the shed for several years, but...
If these are the flat, square, black buttons (sorry, never owned a S&S ... are giving you trouble, you might just try using them. A lot. As I recall, they...
Does anyone have one they can copy for me? I have no probs paying shipping on it, I just want to get a bunch of sounds going on my Mirage at the same time! I...
... shed ... again and ... front ... All the ... mine has ... Spell ... some ... any ... I have posted a photo of the buttons in the "Mirage pix" photo album ...
It's difficult to tell from that picture what sort of buttons these are, except that they're definitely not the original DSK-8. What's the serial number? -jk...
The info plate on the back of the unit says the following: MUSICAL INSTRUMENT Model DSK-8 Ser. No. 703336 230V 55VA Hammond Suzuki Ltd. Made In Japan #27 See...
Looks pretty clear to me that these are the plastic membrane type buttons featured on a lot of cheap gear at the time. Such as the Casio CZ1000 and Prophet...
Yeah, that's what I mean... I know what kind of buttons they are, I'm just really curious as to what they're doing on a Mirage. It's extra strange, because I...
I will dig through all my old floppy disks tomorrow sometime and see if I can find mine. Will then see if I can get some kind of software to let me copy it....
I would venture to say not many were made as it's also a 230V model - they were probably outsourced for manufacturing and to cut costs they probably changed...
wow I "think" I Vaguely vaguely vaguely remember seeing a pic of that in something like a liiittle b&w pic on top of an old single- paragraph keyboard magazine...
yeah - this is an amazing find - probably more amazing that we'd never heard of it. As to the s/n, I just checked mine, it's 11884 - but actually, the tag has...
Marty It's actually pretty clear what you have. Ensoniq must have licensed Hammond to manufacture and sell Mirages in Japan. Casio did the same thing with...
