Disklavier

The reason your computer won't see the Yamaha disk is something to do with 
the boot sector or whatever it is the computer looks for when it first sees 
a disk.  The copy utility fixes that on the COPY of the disk.

First, format a blank 720k disk in your computer.  Then reboot into DOS 
mode.  Start the dkvcopy utility and follow the instructions. Make sure you 
write protect your Yamaha disk so you don't accidently overwrite it!  Make 
sure your Yamaha disk plays in your Disklavier - sometimes they go bad so 
the copy won't work either. Your computer will be able to see the COPY.  You 
will see files with the extension .fil  These are ESEQ files.

You must use 720 disks. These 2DD disks only have one square hole; 2HD disks 
have 2 holes. Sometimes it does not work using the 1.4 disks and taping the 
bottom right hole. The particles on these higher density disks are much 
finer that the 720 disks.  The heads that read 720 k disks are bigger than 
the heads that read 1.4 disks.

If you want to put MIDI files onto a disk so your DKV will play them, first 
convert them to ESEQ files.  Format a 720k disk and copy the new ESEQ files 
to it.  Use the explorer program per directions.

This should work!
