First, the software to do this, although legal, has dubious overtones (i.e. it allows duplication of the original Yamaha disks, which they're obviously very touchy about). For this reason, there aren't many programs about that work, and Yamaha are certainly not going to help anyone write more! The only FREE ones that work properly are the utilities that you can download from here, and because they bugger about with the PC internally (you're not supposed to be able to write DD disks), they are written for DOS. Hence, they don't work at all under XP. The easiest way is to use a computer with Windows 95 or 98 on it (unless of course you still have a DOS PC around!). They work fine on these. Failing that, you have to consider whether you really want/need the files on floppy at all. Many users on this site have found that controlling the piano directly from a PC is so much more flexible (me included, and I was very much against the idea to start with). Regards Charles
