Replying to my own question, after looking at this a bit more, it appears that this has its own drivers. It actually reads a portion from the floppy disk, but then needs drivers to interpret and further read from the memory card. It would be nice if there were other media options for the disklavier. My floppies seem slow and sometimes are fragile with young kids that handle them. -----Original Message----- From: disklavier@yahoogroups.com [mailto:disklavier@yahoogroups.com] On Behalf Of Rod Meiners Sent: Wednesday, November 16, 2005 11:02 AM To: disklavier@yahoogroups.com Subject: [disklavier] Other options for floppy disks Has anyone tried to use a flashpath floppy that takes smartmedia memory cards into a floppy disk on a disklavier floppy drive? With this floppy disk, you can have a 128mb memory card available through a floppy disk. The main problem that I could see with this on the disklavier would be the need to group files in folders. (not sure if this is possible) 128mb of midi files all at the same level would be tedious to navigate. The link below describes the disk and how it is 3x faster than a normal floppy disk. http://www.nightowlcamera.com/products/flashpath.html ------------------------ Yahoo!
