Disklavier

Hi

Yes I know. I am affraid it will NOT work for the simple reason that 
the PC needs a driver for it. 
A floppy disk has a special sector on it called the Boot Sector and 
in there are the details of what sort of disk it is 720K or 1.44M.
There is also other information in the boot sector, like how many 
sides does the disk have and how many tracks........

The DKV and any other keyboard / piano would be looking for a disk of 
either 720K or 1.44M and not anything else.

Sorry to dampen your hopes.

I know, because I have one, and have tried.
