Re: [disklavier] Yamana UD-FD01 Discontinued

Bill,

   Just purchased a DKC-850 for my MX100.

   Purchased both Floppy drives.  The Iomega device did not work, but the LaCie device work perfectly.

I am not sure if Yamaha still has any UDF01s in inventory.

The best thing would be to "borrow" a UDF01, load the floppies to internal memory and then give the UDF01 back.

Yamaha floppies are protected. As a result, generic USB floppy drives won't read the disks.

There are a couple of drives that will work:


Iomega #32633
LaCie #706018

Love God. Love People. Make a difference.

Was thinking of purchasing a DKC-850 and transfer my floppy disc contents onto this unit via the Yamama Floppy Disk drive.




Is the UD-FD01 proprietary or would a generic USB floppy drive work?




Thanks
