Disklavier

fyi, giebler's program absolutely positively does NOT work under windows xp,
because xp has no true DOS mode

you need any operating system other than xp (95, 98, me) which can operate
in true DOS mode

i have asked giebler myself, and he either cannot or will not rewrite his
program to work under xp

giebler works best with an old slower computer

i know this from personal experience

actually, with giebler you can transfer filed from an eseq diskette to your
hard drive, convert them and then transfer them back to a diskette

  Sam, I've always used the Giebler Utilities to do that job.  See
  www.giebler.com  It's not free, but it does the job reliably.  With it,
  you cannot copy an entire Yamaha-protected Pianosoft diskette; however,
  you can copy and convert individual files.

  For fun, I once tried the ESEQ2MIDI program and it didn't work for me
  either.  Rather than fight it, I continued to use Giebler which I had
  used for years.

  If you have never worked under DOS, you just need to follow Giebler's
  instruction manual.  (If you cut your teeth on CP/M or DOS in the early
  days, you're in for a retro experience.)
