Go to the files section of our group website and download the dkvutils suite of freeware programs. You will need a PC (not Mac) that can be booted into native DOS (Win 95, 98 or ME, but not NT, 2000 or XP). It can not be run in a DOS window. The dkvcopy program will allow you to make copies of your Yamaha software that, unlike the originals, can be read by the PC, thus allowing you to transfer them to a hard drive and/or convert them to midi format with the other utilities in the suite. Here¹s a link right to the utility files: http://groups.yahoo.com/group/disklavier/files/Utility%20Programs/ Enjoy!

Subject: [disklavier] Bad Floppy Drive
I have a Disklavier Grand Piano (acoustic) with the separate big
black Control Wagon and a big umbilical cord that joins them.
Over 12 years old, it is a G2 R 49XXXXX series piano and the
separate Control Wagon model is a DKW10. The floppy drive
stopped reading and writing diskettes about 5 years ago and we
were cut off from our music collection. I've tried to get a
replacement floppy, but the local Yamaha repairman can't find
one and it's not a generic PC floppy mechanism. I recently got
frustrated and hooked up an old Mac computer running
sequencer software and we are now enjoying the player
functions again and an endless collection of piano music in MIDI
file format from the internet. Have any other members with old
floppy-based systems had drive problems and found a solution
to replace it? Ultimately I can live without it, but I would like to
access all of the PianSoft disks I collected over the years. If all
else fails, I'll buy Geibler's conversion software and salvage my
Disklavier disk collection as MIDI files.
P.S. - I just joined the group and I already love it! I'm not alone
with my aging Disklavier anymore.
