Disklavier

Your best bet is to just buy a dedicated Windows
machine to use for your Disklavier stuff.  A used
laptop is just fine.  Even better is one that uses an
older operating system such as Windows 98 SE or older.
Windows XP with the NTSF format is pretty standard, but
the older versions of XP that use the FAT 32 format is
better.  Computers do different things, and the day of
one for everything is over.
