Disklavier

James,
 
From my experience, if you can rip the songs off a floppy, they can then be
put on a USB stick and work just fine with the DKC-850.  
 
I made a single USB drive with all of my floppies on it, putting each floppy
in a different sub-directory on the USB stick.  This works just fine, and
lets me select the "floppy" and then either play it or find a single
selection on it to play.
 
I'm sure there are other methods too, but I've used this one to put my
entire floppy collection on a single 2gb USB stick and it has worked fine
(except for losing the PRO resolution on those selections that were recorded
with it, but that's apparently a permanent "feature" of the DKC-850 --
grumble, grumble...).
 
Phil

Would reading the disks on a computer (with riparoot or whatever) and
copying them to a flash drive work?
