DKC 800 and conversion of floppy discs

DKC 800 and conversion of floppy discs

2010-10-20 by gmtmt

I have several of the piano soft floppy discs that I want to convert to CD to play on my upgraded DKC 800.  

Does anyone have a recommended process besides buy the floppy disc player to plug into the DKC 800?

Save yourself a lot of grief now, and in the future, and just buy the Yamaha 
USB floppy drive ($150).  I tried other drives and they did not work.

The Yamaha drive includes a bracket to attach the drive to the bottom of the control unit. The other drives do not. However, attaching the drive to the control unit is not so important. Normally, we would connect the drive to the control unit via USB and transfer the song files to the internal memory of the of control unit. Then, we can disconnect the drive from the control unit and store it in the bench of the piano.
