Ralph,

Great news!

Thanks for letting me know.

Was the LaCie the model I suggested? If not, can you tell me the model?

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

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
