Was thinking of purchasing a DKC-850 and transfer my floppy disc contents onto this unit via the Yamama Floppy Disk drive.
Is the UD-FD01 proprietary or would a generic USB floppy drive work?
Thanks

I am not sure if Yamaha still has any UDF01s in inventory. The best thing would be to "borrow" a UDF01, load the floppies to internal memory and then give the UDF01 back. Yamaha floppies are protected. As a result, generic USB floppy drives won't read the disks. There are a couple of drives that will work: Iomega #32633 LaCie #706018 Bill Love God. Love People.

The Yamaha FD definitely works. Other brands are hit or miss. I believe it has something to do with pin assignments. Carol Sent from my iPhone

My group of DK friends are using 10-year old Lenovo (IBM) ThinkPads whose FD drive works perfect for this app (and run older Windows for various DK utilities) We also had hit-or-miss with various $10-12 TEAC brand external FD drives from AMZN If they didn’t work, they sent them back at AMZN cost Good luck!

Bill, Just purchased a DKC-850 for my MX100. Purchased both Floppy drives. The Iomega device did not work, but the LaCie device work perfectly. Ralph

Ralph, Great news! Thanks for letting me know. Was the LaCie the model I suggested? If not, can you tell me the model? Bill On Aug 15, 2017, at 11:09 AM, 'Ralph Specht' capespechts@...
