Though I don't have a copy to email, I would recommend De Furia's and
Scacciaferro's _The_MIDI_Programmer's_Handbook_ (Redwood City CA: M&T
Books, 1990). It has all of the sample dump codes, handshaking info,
and so on, in addition to all of the other MIDI spec. 

I don't believe the EPS supports MIDI sample dump, but it has its own
System Exclusive which is very similar. To get the spec for that, contact
Ensoniq. I have a Mirage, and Ensoniq publishes the SysEx info for that
in their Advanced Sampler Guide. DigiDesign's Sound Designer will send
and receive samples to and from most samplers with SysEx sample transmission,
as well as 12- and 16-bit MIDI standard dumps. You can also use it to
convert between the different standards.
