Hello Mark,
You said the laptop/computer+software is an alternative to control disklavier. Do you or someone knows how to install and explain about this system. What we need for doing this and how to set up the equipment?. Where can I find more information about this.
Thanks and I appreciate to you all for the attention and response.

The DCD-1's have been unavailable for quite a few years. The alternative
is to hook the Disklavier up to a computer (laptop) and use software to
handle the playlist.

I think a floppy disk can hold about 45 minutes of music. Thats what my
mark II XG does anyway.
