Re: [disklavier] Is the new DKC-850 the best option to upgrade an older MX100A model?

2010-10-20 by George F. Litterst

Apparently when you use a DKC-850 with a pre-Mark II Disklavier, it is necessary for the Disklavier to have a working floppy drive with a floppy disk inserted. Beyond that, you basically ignore the original control unit.

Any electronic experts on this list who can figure out a way to jump some cable and make an old Disklavier control unit think that it has a working floppy with a disk inserted?

We have an MX100A with a broken floppy drive. Is our best option to replace the floppy drive in the MX100A unit and upgrade to the DKC-850 for maximum functionality? Any other suggestions would be most appreciated.

Thanks.
