Does anyone know how to connect a computer to the I/O center to add images  
to the picture collection, can you do it wirelessly?  or do you need a LAN,  or 
can you hook up the I/O center directly to a network card on my laptop?  
detailed info would be great. does anyone know the Network features of the Mark  
IV inside-out?
 
Thanks Kevin

Yes,  I have added pictures to my I/O center ... do  you have a tablet for your Mark IV?

I did it wirelessly.  I have a Mac with wireless airport network.

Look for a network called "DVK#####  " and then a folder called "picture folder"

Note:   When connecting allow 10 minutes or so for the DSK #####  (where ##### are 
numbers)  to show up as the network to connect to and then the "Picture Folder" should 
appear on the Macintosh  desktop and drag jpeg files  into it.

 The ability to wirelessly download upgrades to the system of the Mark IV is future 
development as well.  Currently the wireless network is there, for jpeg transfer, but the 
folders that contain system and midis are protected now to prevent people accidently 
erasing info.  They will set up some sort of temp folder to transfer the midis bought online 
and password to add these to your hard drive .....  The disklavier has an underlying Linux 
system computer onboard.

I was told by technical help at Yamaha that this is the only thing you can put on the hard 
drive as they don't want anyone messing up the system, so you don't have access to 
transferring midi files as yet.

I originally was going to try to use the cable to cable connection using a cross-over 
ethernet cable, but it does not work and the technician verified that was true.  It is much 
easier to go  wireless than hook  up cables anyway.

Hope this helps
