recovering kurzweil formatted floppy disk

Replace the 3.5' floppy drive with the emulator (standard 34-pin data cable + 4-pin power lead). Check the SFRM72-FU-DL has jumpers set as pattern JP-D in the user manual (JA and SO jumpers installed)ģ. Take apart the keyboard (contact me if you want details)Ģ.

I fitted the USB emulator and after a few false starts understanding the interface everything works as delivered.ġ.

Most of the solutions were expensive (original new drives, refurbished old drives, or modified standard interface floppy drives). I had been looking for a long time for a replacement that didn't cost the earth. Success in using the Floppy to USB Emulator for Yamaha PSR5700Įmulator can be purchased from ebay if you search for the following:ħ20KB-USB-Floppy-Drive-Emulator-Simulation-for-YAMAHA-KORG-ROLAND-Music-/171742386245?įor folks looking for a replacement for the Shugart Interface floppy disk drive (my failed drive was a Sony) the SFRM72-FU-DL works just fine. I post this so that others with a similar problem may find a solution. Having had the usual issue with the PSR5700 keyboard having a faulty drive, I have found a solution using the GOTEK SFRM72-FU-DL floppy to USB Emulator.
