Re: [disklavier] What is needed to directly connect Mark IV with the internet?

Good evening, everyone.

Interestingly, you can actually get 4X speeds in an external floppy. The fast ones actually make the medium seem useful.

That problem is easily solved with an external USB floppy drive. Connect it to your laptop or your new PC as you require.
You can pick these up cheaply on ebay or for a few dollars extra at most chain computer stores.

My own experience is:

When you buy and download music specific for the DKV directly from Yamaha's pianosoft store (mostly full FD) you have to use a download manager they provide. It downloads de music files to the HD and then formats an FD y Yamaha's format and puts the ESEQ files there.

(It seems they simply download an FD image and then copy the full image to the FD)
There were 2 free files to test this procedure

Don't know what happens if your PC does not have an FD (a most new laptops)

It is different if you buy in the same store MIDI files, not specific to the DKV.
