I'm not an expert on the older units, but you might try formatting a
720K on the PC first and see if the controller can read it.  I know the
commercial disks have a deliberately damaged first sector (ignored by
the disklavier) as a crude form of copy protection that prevents PC's
from reading or copying them.  Possibly your unit formats disks the same
way.  The free dkvcopy utility in the dkvutil suite in the files section
of our vault will duplicate these disks, except the copy has a proper
first sector and is therefore PC readable.

Subject: [disklavier] HELP! Computer and Disklavier Floppies not
compatible.

 

Hi.  My wife and I just bought a used 1995 MX100 disklavier.  It 
uses the old 720k disks and when I format them in the disklavier 
unit, the computer won't recognize them as formatted or allow me to 
download files onto it.  Whats the trick?  Or is there no way to 
download onto older disks?
