I had the same problem with my disk drive in a MX-85. Maybe because my 18 month old daughter thought it needed to be fed chereos years ago. Anyway, I called our old friend mark Wisner at Yamaha and he recomended that if I was too cheap to buy a new drive from Yamaha (around $100.00) then there were a lot of useable drives in old Yamaha midi sequencers. I went to ebay and bought a old MDR-2 for $12.00, took the drive out of it and put it in my piano and it worked great. Has been going strong for 2 years now. Of course I can't guarantee that it would work for your's but it's a thought. I looked on ebay just now and there are no such boxes listed but they do come up frequently as people clean out their closets. At the time he said a drive from a DOU-10 or a QX-3 would work as well. Good luck, Larry... __________________________________________________ Do you Yahoo!? Yahoo! Platinum - Watch CBS' NCAA March Madness, live on your desktop! http://platinum.yahoo.com
