Re: [disklavier] Re: Disc Copying - and Obsolete Technology

Hi Keith,

Let's see if we can figure this out.

- can you play the floppy disk from the Yamaha FD connected to the DKC-850?

If so, it should copy just fine into the internal memory of the DKC-850.

If cannot play the the floppy itself, you may have received the file as a compressed (psx?) file. 

Do you see anything on the floppy when you connect the drive to a computer?

New Disklavier stuff? I haven't heard of anything, but NAMM is coming up:-))

Hi Bill and Happy New Year,  I actually tried that.  1st I tried to copy the SmartPianosoft floppy to the DKC-850 memory with the YAM USB floppy drive and came up with the copy protection error.  Then tried using DKMKIIxg head unit with floppy to make a disk copy for back-up and same error.  Works perfect for songs I have on floppies, not on the disks purchased directly from Yamaha Musicsoft online store. 



PS- let us know if there any new cool Disklavier announcements/products at NAMM. 

Thanks!

Keith
