Disklavier

Mark, 

That's great news and the DKV community will benefit from your passion, skill, time, and ongoing technical support. 

I've had great success using the previous version of your PPFBU utility and look forward to cutting over to the latest version. 

Also, I've been meaning to make a donation, and the new PPFBU version serves as a reminder and perfect opportunity to do so. 

Thanks again . . . / Robert

Subject: [disklavier] New version of floppy backup utility posted 




For anyone who uses my floppy backup/extraction utility PPFBU, a new 
version is available at http://www.kinura.net/ppfbu/ 

Version 1.2 adds support for 1.44 MB Disklavier and PianoDisc diskettes, 
plus support for Disk Orchestra Collection albums. Read error recovery 
has been improved as well, though a lot depends on how well a particular 
floppy drive handles old, worn media. In the event of failure, trying a 
different drive can sometimes make a difference. 

I have a variety of drives on hand, including genuine 720 KB drives 
connected to a motherboard-based floppy controller. If anyone has 
precious, homemade material that they're unable to read, get in touch 
privately and I'll try to help.
