Disklavier

The operating system, along with the factory installed music software need to be put on the hard drive. A hard drive on one Mark IV can be switched with another Mark IV hard drive - nothing unique to the specific piano.

Easiest way (without a hard driver cloner) is to use Mark IV Rescue discs (3) and install them to the blank hard drive, with it in the piano. An older firmware version (v3.0) is installed. From there, you can update to the current firmware using Network Update.

To do the rescue requires pushing a couple of buttons, in sequence on the  IO Center.

The Rescue Discs are created using 3 ISO files. 

I have the files and installation instructions, if anyone needs them. Send me a private email and I will give you links to these files.

Is it possible for an enterprising member of this list to sell ready-to-install SSDs for Mark IV instruments?  Or do the drives       include information specific to each individual piano that is added by Yamaha during manufacturing, i.e. information that must be cloned from the original drive or configured by Yamaha in a replacement drive?
