Wen you buy something from their website, that  have a downloader you 
install, that helps you create diskette’s of the music.  That said, if you 
have an old Windows 95, or 98 boot disk(recovery disk), it will start up 
with access to the C: drive, and if you have your utilities in a directory 
there, you should be able to run them.  I used the DKVcopy.exe utility 
with all my old disks and made copies. Now I can then see the files on 
them, and copy off to the hard drive for later use.  Some will be .MID, 
some .FIL I’m sure the DKC850 can use those.  As far as the CD based 
Songs, I’m assuming you have a CD player on your DKC850, if not you can 
buy one that will pug into a USB port on the 850.  Not all USB CD drives 
work, so I’ve heard, but many do.

Oh brother, I just spent several hundred $ with Yamahamusicsoft.com on 
their holiday sale on SmartPianosoft albums and can't backup or even see 
any of the floppy disks that arrived this week.  Riparoot and rootaripper 
of course don't work with Win 7 or Win 8.  I should not have junked my old 
cruddy old XP desktop!!  Does ANYONE have a new version of rootaripper or 
any utility that will allow for accessing this expensive (maybe useless ) 
pile of floppies?  

DKC-850 with Yam floppy drive.  

Thanks
