Disklavier

My mx 80 unit is not functioning properly.  All the Pianosoft disks 
and my personal disks all show as unformatted disks. I unplugged 
both power and serial cord and nothing.  The disks will not play-any 
suggestions or do I need a new unit.  If I need a new one-can I buy 
it on the net and can I upgrade the unit?

Thanks
Peter

Sounds like you need a new drive.  have a technician
look at it.

Sounds like you need a new floppy disk drive.  If you want to upgrade your 
unit to play Ensemble sounds and be able to use HD 1.44 disks and play 
standard MIDI files, you would need to purchase a DSR1 Control unit.  They 
retail for $1295.

I had a similar problem with my Disklavier control unit floppy drive 
(I have the DSR1).  I called Yamaha and they sent me a floppy drive 
for free (Mine is 4 years old).  It is not very difficult to replace 
it.  The only problem is the instruction is in Japanese but I can 
still figured it out by just looking at the pictures.  

Good luck
