Wow, it has been a long time since I posted anything. I have been busy. I got some time on my hands now, and I am dedicated to getting my Mirage working....
I believe the D3 solution is mostly water, water doesn't generally play well with such mechanisms - I'm not sure you even want to try. Using isopropyl alcohol...
... OK, well I cleaned the heads carefully. They really weren't that dirty. This did not help one bit. Although, we must closing in on the amount of options...
hi, anyone willing to share the OS for the rack mount mirage sampler? i found an old unit at a garage sale but i don't know if it's working - although, it does...
... Just on that, one site I looked at on archive.org has a countdown clock written in Javascript. The page reads as follows: LATEST NEWS! Echo Counting down...
Greetings all. I'm new here, and new to keyboards in general. I have, briefly, played guitar, I have also played alto sax and flute, and presently I sing in a...
... Well, you're going to need an OS disk for it. Probably the easiest thing to do is to get someone to send you a copy of a boot disk, or make one yourself...
just buy the floppy disk drive from me! i have a spare unit for parts... it works fine and loads disks without issue... i had a few people ask about it but all...
OFF-TOPIC but info for my fellow keyboardists in the New York area - PLEASE DO NOT SKEWER ME if this message offends you G-4 Productions presents: KEITH...
Okay, a few people have been asking about getting OSes onto Mirages. The problem is that on modern machines, it's very very hard to format the required floppy...
I'll generally offer to put Mirage OS on a blank floppy for anyone with a self-addressed and stamped envelope - I figure if you own a Mirage, you own the...
... Because that would involve hardware changes, and a (relatively) expensive board. Making a replacement firmware ROM that can suck a boot image over the...
I don't think it'd be that expensive; all you'd have to do is replace the c32 with a c256 on a board and add jumper wire to the extra address points to the...
Well, I am going to have to give up trying to get my Mirage to work, unless anyone has any other suggestions. Thank you, for all your suggestions and help. I...
... That's still more hassle than just dropping in a ROM. I *did* give it some thought, but you've got a lot of work to do to figure out how to page the...
... I can't remember what the original problem was. Were you the one that couldn't get it to boot? You need an OS running on the Mirage to get anything out...

Yes, that was me. It's been a while. There is an ensoniq tech in L.A., he has been repairing anything (and only) ensoniq for 30 years! He was most certain that...
Due to my experience with my early dsk-8, and the disk drive going bad, I have considered getting the newer dsk-1. A Lighter weight, is not a bad thing either....
To be honest I have never owned the original metal box one... But I will say that I have had 3 of the plastic grey "calculator button" ones and have NEVER had...
Wow! That is promising. The calculator buttons that you are referring to are on the later dsk-8, and all of the dsk-1's I believe. Which models do you have or...
... Unfortunately not. There is a company still selling photocopies of the manual, who shout about people infringing their rights to MASOS. Eventually they...
