Re: Q80..

There are three main factors in wall-wort power supplies: voltage, VA
or max amperage, AC or DC output, and polarity. It's possible that the
supply that made the floppy drive fail couldn't provide enough amperage. 

I suggest you look for a power supply whose ratings match the original
kawai supply. Hostfelt Electronics (http://www.hosfelt.com/) probably
has something suitable and inexpensive.
