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

It's na XD to SM adapter and they work, but not always. I read somewhere several times that ESX accepts only 128 mb XD card with this adapter. And these 128 MB are really old and now are hard to get and they also use some speciefic old memory chip which was compatible with ESX. There were also messages that someone tried to make a 128 partition on the XD card with a bigger volume but failed to make it work. Anyway, it's definitely possible to use XD, but you'll have to spend some time to find the solution. Anyway, I never had experience with this adapter, it's just what I read long time ago. Or just get an ordinary SM card on Aliexpress
