Disklavier

Sam, I've always used the Giebler Utilities to do that job.  See 
www.giebler.com  It's not free, but it does the job reliably.  With it, 
you cannot copy an entire Yamaha-protected Pianosoft diskette; however, 
you can copy and convert individual files.

For fun, I once tried the ESEQ2MIDI program and it didn't work for me 
either.  Rather than fight it, I continued to use Giebler which I had 
used for years.

If you have never worked under DOS, you just need to follow Giebler's 
instruction manual.  (If you cut your teeth on CP/M or DOS in the early 
days, you're in for a retro experience.)
