I can't believe this post just popped up this morning.

I have been a member for a long time. Just changed email addresses.

I too have the same problem.

I purchased a DGT7A in 2003. I gave it to my parents in 2004. Piano  
was just delivered back to me, as they are moving into a small condo.  
I don't think it was played hardly at all. However, the floppy drive  
is not working correctly. The disk will not load right. Everything  
else on the piano seems to work just fine.

I am assuming that it is not cost effective to replace the floppy.

As Ted asked, what upgrade options would offer the best bang for the  
buck? I use a Mac, so I after reading through some of the other posts  
last night, I assume I could use RONDO and a Midi interface to stream  
midi files. Is this correct?

Is it possible to upgrade to the new controller on the DGT7A?

Also, how can I take those floppies that I have and copy the files so  
that I can listen to them -- either on a CD or via computer? I have  
quite a few that I purchased when I first got the piano.

Thank you!
