Re: [disklavier] Re: question.....DGP1XG

I think our local Yamaha dealer bought a train load of this model 2 years 
ago just before Christmas.  They are play-only with the DKC100XG control 
boxes.  My chart (the same one as yours) doesn't match what I have seen in 
the field.  They only use double density disks and play only SMF 0 and Eseq 
formats.  But they do have the Ensemble sounds.

Glad to see someone else out there on Christmas!  We have been snowed-in all 
day and could not get to Pittsburgh.  Will try tomorrow.  If it weren't for 
the condition of being out of wrapping paper, I think I would have been 
playing with somebody's new laptop today!
