> Have you resolved this yet? I am interested in how this works with the newer systems like yours. If you read the documentation for YAM, it describes the different ways to get the data to the Piano. It sounds like your piano is not connected to ethernet, either via a hard wire, or a wireless USB ethernet dongle. The documentation says the piano(the 850) needs to be on the same segment as the computer running the YAM software. If it is, the YAM software will see the 850 as a potential destination for the downloaded package. Since mine is not an 850, the only choice I get is a diskette, either a 720K or 1.4M. The YAM determines your capability, when you tell it the model number of your system. In my case, I have a DKC100R with a MU50 XG sound generator, so I actually tell the system that I have a MARK II XG, so it will give me all the titles that have ensemble recordings as well. Then when YAM downloads the title, I create a diskette, either of the two sizes. If I burn a 1.4M diskette, my DKC100R won't read it because it is only capable of 720K diskettes, but with the different software, like DKVCOPY, I can extract the files, and return them to a 720K, or feed the files directly with a MIDI connection from my laptop. Since you have an 850, it also gives you the choice of a USB jump drive, to transfer the data to the 850.

The option is either make a floppy out of it to make it importable to the piano… or find some way to directly import them via connecting to the piano and putting the files in the right place (assuming there’s no “psx extraction/installation” that needs to take place.
