I've taken this precaution for both my DX7IIFD and my Korg M1 (which has no drive and resets to a sine wave generator when the battery dies every decade or so!)
It's not a synth, it's a sampler. Meaning, it has no built-in waveforms or oscillators or anything, and without samples loaded from floppy it doesn't do squat. I don't think you can load samples via MIDI, the protocol is too slow and bandwidth-limited for stuff like that.
