Re: [disklavier] Floppy Disk for the Mark IV? You have to be KIDDING ME!

2008-03-19 by Carey Wolchok

Thanks an interesting approach.  Another "sales line"
was that it would be easy to connect the Disklavier
MarkIV to my home wifi netwrk.  Now, they salesmen are
telling me to go out and buy two Buffalo AirStation
125 High Power Wireless Broadband routers with  AOSS
in order to get the Disklavier and my network to
communicate.  Unfortunately, this wifi hardware is no
longer made or for sale.  Any ideas? What hardware are
others using to connect to Wifi?
Many thanks,
Carey .
