Is it possible to copy disklavier music from floppy disks with a generic floppy drive?

2014-10-09 by mqphan@...

Hi everyone:

I have a Disklavier E3. It does not have a floppy drive, but there are a lot of Disklavier music for sale on Ebay on floppies. Is it possible to purchase an inexpensive generic floppy drive (instead of the expensive one sold by Yamaha), connect it to my Mac, and copy the music files from the floppies onto my computer? I can then transfer these files onto the Disklavier E3 directly or via an USB memory stick as an intermediate step.


I appreciate knowing if the above steps would work, and the quality of the music on those floppies that are for sale on Ebay such as the Mozart Classical Solo Piano Collection. Thank you in advance for your comments.
