Re: [disklavier] Used 720k DD Disk

2001-12-18 by Carol Beigel

I have had the same problem with used 720 K disks.  Try formatting them in 
your Disklavier.  The Giebler Utility program (about $60)also formats 720K 
disks.

You can buy 720K disks on the internet  from Office Outlet at 
www.shoplet.com for $4.55 box of 11.  Serial #UNV00340 for IBM formatted or 
UNV00320 unformatted.

If you are really desparate, try taping over the hole on the bottom right 
hand corner of a HD disk and formatting it as a 720 K disk.
