Disklavier

Folks,

I am totally confused as to what is happening on the Smart Piano 
firmware upgrade.  I notice a press release in the "What's New" Yamaha 
Newsletter that states that Smart Piano software and (apparently the 
firmware required to play it) has been released.  However, there is no 
reference in the press release as to where to obtain the firmware.  I 
have been watching the Yamaha disklavier support page diligently for any 
new release of firmware, but the latest release is March 12, 2002 and is 
clearly not the firmware needed for playing Smart Piano disks.  To 
further add to the confusion, I notice that both Hal Leonard and 
Yamaha's own MusicSoft web sites are showing numerous Smart Piano 
software disks which I assume are really available for purchase. 
 Finally, I note (as per the e-mail below) that some individuals 
apparently have been able to obtain a beta version of the firmware -- or 
is this the official public release of the firmware required to play 
Piano Smart disks?  

I have a Yamaha DC3A disklavier purchased about one year ago.  With the 
firmware upgrade, I would be happy to purchase and try out the Smart 
Piano software.  Can anyone clear up my confusion by answering the 
following questions: (1) Where can one go to obtain the firmware upgrade 
to play Smart Piano disks? (2) Is this an official Yamaha released 
version of the firmware or simply a beta test version of the firmware? 
(3) If the firmware is only available as a beta test version, when does 
Yamaha plan to release the official version of the firmware and will it 
be posted in the usual place at 
http://www.yamaha.com/ycaservice/group005/fgrop005.htm? (4) When you 
purchase a Smart Piano disk, does it tell you exactly (i.e. by Universal 
Product Code No. or some other exact identifier) what CD it is attended 
to be used with?
