Mark III Floppy issue

Mark III Floppy issue

2003-12-17 by cuteyngjoc@aol.com

My DC1A also has floppy drive issues. When you power up the unit the floppy drive light stays on all the time. It should only light when reading from a disk. Does anyone else's work similarly to a computer's floppy drive?
Thankx
John

I don't own a disklavier, but I do own a Clavinova CVP 209 made by
yamaha.  My floppy disk light stays on all the time as well, this is
opposite of the way a computer's disk drive works.  This is the way it
was designed. It's suppose to indicate that their is power to the 
system.  Maybe the disklavier's floppy drive is the same way.

John,
I have an MX88 which had a new diskette drive installed last year by 
a Yamaha technician.  The light on the drive stays on all the time 
and I believe this is the way it is supposed to operate. (The old 
drive which was no longer reading discs correctly, only lighted when 
it accessed data.)  Yamaha provided the new drive under warranty and 
my piano tuner - who is a certified tech, put it in for me.
