This was the original message from Jared.
I just hope after all our discussions he is not more confused than before.
In this spirit. The bottom line is that there are plenty of ways he can hook hid DKV to a Mac (with or without a PC or Ethernet)
Nevertheless, there is one issue that has not been solved for Jared.
Has the pianosoft online store a "download manager" for the Mac? comparable to the one we use for the PC
You need this one if you want to buy downloadable diskettes.
(I have used this on my PC, just once or twice)
2007/6/5, Jared Jenkins <jaredj74@mac.com>:My wife and I just purchased a DU1A and are having it delivered in
the coming week. Yay!!!!! We used the archives on this group to
help us decide to take the plunge. Thank you for all the info you
have shared with this list.
My question for the group is, does anyone have experience working
with a Macintosh computer and the Pianosoft files and MIDI files? On
the Yamaha Pianosoft site it appears that you can only download disks
on a Windows machine. Has anyone found a workaround for this (aside
from using a program like Parallels or Boot Camp to boot Windows XP
on a macintosh). Also if I download MIDI files or the files from the
files section of the User Group can I just format a disk as Windows
format and save the files to a floppy disk on an external USB drive
and then use that disk in the piano?
Any help on making files on the Mac work with the piano would be very
appreciated.
Thanks,
Jared

As some have mentioned, buying a PC would be the easiest solution, but I just can't bear the thought of bringing a PC into my all Mac house...so until i get an intelMac, I'm going to try just putting the midi files onto a Windows formatted floppy and playing them that way. I purchased a floppy drive and a bunch of floppies today and the Piano is being delivered in the morning. We can't wait to try it out!
Thanks again for all your suggestions and insight!
I am glad to be a part of this group.
Jared
