Old Korg T-series Ram disk collection on 3 1/2" floppys

Old Korg T-series t1 t2 t3 Ram disk collection on 3 1/2" floppys:

There used to be a set of these about 20 of them of floppy disk. I have a T-2ex and it would be cool to load some of these in to see how they sound. Can these be downloaded and burned to floppy disk? Can they be loaded via sysex like midiox and drag and drop the sysex file to load it via midi? Does Korg just want this whole issue to go away so they can sell new keyboards and not support old ones?

The t2 can receive midi sample dump over midid so that might be a way to create a library.

I have used midiox to load program and combination data, I'm talking about pcm wav data.

As far as I can see from the specs, PCM data can be downloaded via midi. I have done that quite some time ago with the DSS1 (about 1/3rd of the amount of data), it takes quite some time to transfer 1 MB over MIDI (count about 5 minutes).

Anyways, if you have a source for T series disks/data, I'd be utterly grateful for pointing me to that source!

For copying floppy disks I'd recommend omniflop, works like a charm.

Take care,
