   Hello! I’d like to know if you’re still selling the emulator, its price, and if it comes pre-installed with the Roland W30 operating system. Also, what do I need to do to transfer the sequence and sound data I currently have on floppy disks? Thanks!

   If I were to purchase one of these but still have all my old floppies, do you have ideas how I could transfer those floppies to the SD/USB? I’m assuming there’s not a way to hook this up to SCSI or a SCSI floppy reader to transfer, is there?
