## Description

desertcart.com: 3.5-Inch USB Floppy Disk Drive Emulator, 1.44MB, Model 1m44-u100k, Compatible with Musical Keyboard : Electronics

Review: Does what I want it to do. - I was having problems with my Yamaha Clavinova. It is quite a few years old and the floppy disks were beginning to degrade and not play. I had no issues installing this in the piano. My only problem was finding the programs and figuring out how to transfer the floppies and midi files into the program and then transfer them to the usb drive. I purchased a usb floppy drive to read the disks, but it was acting a bit flaky at times. Luckily I still had an old laptop with an internal floppy that read them with no issues. After some trial and error, the floppy emulator works like a charm. No more swapping floppy disks and no more read errors from degrading floppies.
Review: Very nice and reliable. - I have this old yamaha psr 1100 keyboard with original floppy disk drive and I couldn't use any of my custom made voice, songs or styles on this keyboard, after installing this USB drive I can download or create any style and simply store them on USB drive and use them on my Yamaha keyboard. This drive opened a new door to new digital world. Very easy to install and operate. 👍👌💯

## Questions & Answers

**Q: Will the emulator work on yamaha psr-740 keyboard?**
A: I'm not certain, because I installed mine on a Korg Triton Classic. But, if your Yamaha has a 24 pin ribbon connector and power supply cable (usually the same as a computer) you should be ok. The trickiest part of the job for me was trying to use the bottom of the existing floppy drive to retrofit the USB unit into the same place. I was unable to get any holes to line up, so I had to crimp the metal as tight as I could around the unit without screws. It is installed and not moving. Good luck.

**Q: Has anyone tried installing this on a yamaha clavinova? i have a cvp-105 (circa 1999) with a 3.5-inch floppy drive i am considering replacing. thanks!**
A: I bay it but not work

**Q: What do i do when there is no way to connect this to me desktop pc ? it won't install on my pc ! thank you in advance**
A: This is designed to be installed inside the case of a desktop pc using an open slot and connectors from the mother board. If you don't have space inside your pc, you'll need a different device designed for external connection.

### ⭐ Dosn't work for Roland EM Series keyboards
*by A***I on December 21, 2021*

If you want to upgrade your Roland EM-15/25 or same like that, it won't work. I spent 3 days to find any solution, read all instructions, watch all video tutorials, no good result. Problem #1: no step-by-step instruction for spesific music instrument, just general usb-floppy emulator formating. Before buy it, find specialist who can help you upgrate your keyboard or buy preinstalled emulator exactly for your project. Next time I buy not USB but SD emulator and preinstalled for my EM-25.
