I bought an Ensoniq EPS  quite a long time ago (c. 1988). It got a decent amount of home studio use and then went into storage. Note the box of DS/DD 3.5" floppy disks (each with 720KB of storage).

Ensoniq EPS

Somewhere along the way I added a SCSI interface to save/load from SyQuest 44MD removable disks (small board with the ribbon cable to the right of the large capacitors).

Inside

Amazingly, the keyboard still boots from the system disk, and all but one sample on that disk loaded and worked. One key sticks when pressed, so I will need to fix that.

Stuck Key

Once I address any other hardware issues, I think I'm going to replace the floppy drive with an emulator that reads USB drives. The EPS had its own custom disk format, but it seems like the floppy emulators deal with that.
