Yamaha C1 Music Computer

Yamaha C1 Music Computer

2001-05-21 by Robert E. Welcyng

I was just given a Yamaha C1 music computer (circa 1988).  It has a built-in
MIDI interface, an 80286 processor, and two floppy drives (but no hard drive). 
The only accessory I have is the power cord.  I'd appreciate hearing from anyone
who might have a DOS boot diskette specifically for this machine or any other
application software that was meant to run on it OR from anyone who is starting
a computer museum.

We have at our office also such an old music computer, but we don\ufffdt use it
anymore. I suggest you should do the same, it is to old.Better use a laptop
with cakewalk and CBX driver for a to host driver. It is much quicker and
more modern.

Thank you for your reply, Vincent.  I'm afraid your advice is well taken.  I do
have a laptop and Cakewalk and Finale that I use to drive my DKV.  I'd hoped to
find some use for the beautiful and quiet C1 other than as a boat anchor, but I
must with sadness admit its obsolescence.
