Re: determine diskette the filesystem

fdisk stands for "Fixed Disk".  As in "Hard Disk".

It is not for floppies.

fdisk has to do with the partitioning, and even though it
has a byte per partition that can HINT at the filesystem
type, it does not really determine that filesystem type.

I dunno what filesystem the synthesizer used, but fdisk
will not help.  Did the mount command mount it successfully?

You can see what is mounted with "cat /proc/mounts".
