> My information is that the upgrade control box is the DKC850. It upgrades older Disklaviers to the capabilities of the E3, which is more than a MarkIII but not a MarkIV. Although the new control box will work with all older Disklaviers, internet radio will only be available for MarkIIXG and MarkIII models due to the way it connects to the piano. MX100A/B and MarkII Disklaviers will not be able to use the internet radio feature. It will retail for $1995.

> Dear Mk II and MK III owners. News of the new control unit was so exciting, I immediately jumped online to search for more info. Not surprisingly, google returned scant information. However, searching Google Japan returned some good information. Thanks to the translation feature Google provides, I was able to convert the Japanese text into something readable in English. While not a perfect translation, you'll get the gist of what this product provides. Also, note that this is selling in Japan for 92,400 yen, which converts to approx $1,000 USD.
