There is no official way to do this, and I don't know of an unoffical way to 
do this either. Your best option is to add a DSR1 which connects via MIDI 
cables.

Hmm...connecting by a midi cable.  Maybe I could just connect the 
DKC500RX box to the mx100a in this manner?  The DKC500RX box has a 
midi out port.  It seems logical but probably isn't that easy, eh?  
Any thoughts?  Thanks again!

Sorry, but that will not work. The DKC500RX needs to connect to the 
Disklavier with a special cable that powers the control unit and handles the 
I/O (MIDI, communication with the disk drive, calibration tests, et cetera). 
The MIDI ports are for communication with the outside world.

The DSR1 has its own power supply and does MIDI I/O with the control unit of 
the piano using one set of MIDI ports and does MIDI I/O with the rest of the 
world using a second set of MIDI ports. The DSR1 does not handle calibration 
issues. That will still be handled by the original control unit of the piano.

Dang!  Thanks.  The DKC500RX would work on a mx100II or any other 
mark II, just not the mx100a, yes?  The DSR1 has/is a tone 
generator?

Good morning, everyone.

To my knowledge, the DKC500RX will not work on any Mark II. The DSR1 does 
have a tone generator which includes the old Yamaha DOC sound set (for 
compatibility with old PIanoSoft Plus recordings), General MIDI (GM), and XG 
(Yamaha's extended version of the GM sound set.

The DKC500RX is the control box for MarkIIXG Disklaviers - only! Neither the 
MX100A/B or the MarkII systems have flash rom upgrades or tone generators.  
They can only be upgraded by using the DSR1 box.
