	Sonix accepts the standard IFF format (8SVX?).  I had a similar
problem at one point (when I was running on a one floppy drive 1000). 
Apparently, in order for Sonix to properly load and play an IFF sample,
it must have access to the Miscellaneous directory, OR have accessed an
IFF instrument successfully before.

	One way to solve it is to go to the Score screen, and select
"Load" from the menu.  When the requester comes up, select the "preload"
score.  This score contains instruments of many types and allows Sonix
to play all varieties of intruments without further disk access.

	It also may be the way you're saving it from your sampling
software.  From AudioMaster, for example, you must save it as the
"SONIX" type.
