Hello AbAli,

If you decide or have to replace your drive with a new FLOPPY-drive you have to make sure you find one as Yamaha used to use, (that is not so easy anymore)
Mainly ALPS, MITSUBISHI or PANASONIC. Other drives may work as well but they might not. Everybody knows that a computer of over 8 years old is ANCIENT these days and keyboards with floppy drives are in the same category as these older computers.
As some computers in ‘the old days’ would not work with some brands of floppy drives, it is the same with keyboards. It is a matter of the way the keyboard and the drive ‘communicate’.

You can easy replace your floppydrive for an USB-floppy-emulator that holds the equivalent of 100 floppy's!! That works VERY well in all older Yamaha keyboards.
On this forum I have answered this question many times and if you want more info you have to send me your email-address. The file is to long to put it on this forum.

Regards
Dick Rector
