There are after market player mechanisms, QRS is perhaps the
most popular, but they won't be a Disklavier, and not a Mark III or
IV.

The Mark III or IV isn't just the computer, it's the whole system
of solenoids and the keyboard sensors (and the leap from III->IV
is substantial in the player mechanism in addition to being a much
more elaborate computer, the II->III transition was primarily a
computer upgrade).
