It seems that this particular drive pulls the power from the ribbon cable, rather than a separate power cable as typically seen on a computer.  Has anyone found a drive or a way to modify a standard floppy to work with the V50??  Replacements are scarce from Yamaha and they want $240 for a drive!!  I\u2019d much rather use a $30 drive from the computer store if possible!!
