Disklavier

Can anyone suggest a 60 to 80 gig external usb hard drive that is fat32 
formatted, so it will work with the disklavier mk4 as a back up? Will a 
sata hard drive work. I know that it has to be external powered since 
the mk4 is only 1.1 usb compliant.

Thanks

Greetings athomik,

the last three virtually incomprehensible e-mails are from:

Adrian Thomas
Senior Engineer
Service Department

i guess a senior engineer, at Yamaha, is not required to learn how to
use the e-mail system.

Sorry Adrian, 
which message? I couldn't find nearby the message you say.
More of that the message itself seem outdated: it says "Disklavier 2.0
will be available in April 2007.".
 
I live in Italy and our Yamaha technicians says there will be a
European meeting in the next weeks and Yamaha will reveal if and when
2.0 will be distributed. 

Hoping soon.....

There was a European meeting in Germany last week.

In the UK, the software should arrive sometime this week. At the moment, you still have to contact your local Yamaha subsidiary/dealer, as the update will first be available on CD only. Hopefully, it will be available for download as well in the near future (quite a big file). The plan for the future is to have updates available as downloads only, although you might still be able to ask your local Yamaha support people for a copy on CD.

I have in my notes that we bought a Lacie Brick Mobile Hard Drive 80GB USB2/Firewire for 
around $129 to use with our Mark IV Disklavier as backup. 

P.S. USB 2.0 capable drives are automatically backward compatible with USB 1.0 hard 
drives.

I made a backup to this hard drive.  The backup contains a ".dbaf "folder which contains 
the files from my backup.  The disklavier somehow knows to look inside this folder and 
retrieve the information need to "restore" to the disklavier if needed.  These files are not 
direct copies of the midi files, but are stored in some sort of file recognizable by the 
disklavier system to use in the "restore" mode.  I believe they do this to keep others from 
moving copyrighted midis to other disklaviers other than the one that was backed up.

I have a lot of notes on our experience with backing up the Mark IV, but may be too 
technical or confusing to introduce on this forum.  If you have any specific questions 
about the backup procedure maybe I can answer those questions.

Hope this helps,
Joan
