This is something I am working on (slowly) at the moment. I aim to create
a disklavier site with utilities, documentation, and a user
contributable FAQ. Currently I am working through the archive of messages
I have on my computer since I joined the group (about 6-8 months now) and
building up Question / Answers / "Author of answer" from them all to put
into a database.

Once I have something that is usable I will make it available on
http://www.disklavier.co.uk

Carol Beigel has an invaluable resource with lot of useful documentation
and tools on his website - http://www.carolrpt.com

If you could describe the electronics for the wireless com port / midi
connection (I guess you have made a wireless serial link which you can run
at 31.25kb?) I think that would be useful to the group - many people are
looking for a wireless system to control their dkv's.

If you were willing we might even be able to publish PCB / breadboard /
veroboard layouts somewhere so that those willing to experiment with a
soldering iron could build it themselves (or get a friend to do it).

Cheers - I look hearing from you :)
