Re: [disklavier] swixo utilities

I did not get the program to work at all under Windows 98.  However, I did 
manage to get it to read a floppy disk in an old laptop running Windows 95, 
but it would only read a disk I had copied with dkvcopy.  It would not read 
a Yamaha disk.  Isn't that what it is supposed to do?  This is truly one 
great idea of a program - if it works!
