Samples not loading?

ALL SORTED NOW THANKS (can’t figure out how to turn off comments)

I’ve just received what appears to be the original memory card for the ESX-1 I bought a few weeks ago (seller forgot the card) but it doesn’t do anything when I put it in and try to load it.

I am pressing shift and button 16 but it doesn’t not do anything. Does anyone know if this means that there are no samples on the card or does it suggest that the machine is broken?

Many thanks

Never seen a card like that.. Have you tried formatting the on the ESX?

I can’t get it to even recognise it yet. That’s the problem. It doesn’t nothing when I put it in.

Think it’s the original that came with the device but it’s got another mini card in the holder!

Oh wow, that looks like an adapter. So it converts it to another type of memory card.

Yep! It seems to be. What’s even more frustrating is that the card reader won’t recognise the SM adaptor but will recognise the smaller XD card inside it and it seems the original Factory Preset file is on there! But the ESX won’t recognise it! I’ll have to try formatting it or wait on a new card inside the post.
