PianoDisc PDS-128Plus Floppy Drive Replacement
By Vo Danh 

A piano with the PianoDisc PDS-128Plus system recently came to my
possession.  Everything seems to be fine with the system, except
for the floppy drive of the controller -- it doesn't work anymore.

I was wondering if anybody has tried to replace it with a floppy
drive emulator.  I know there are 720k (MFD-DD format) floppy drive
emulators out there that I can get.  However, I'm not sure if it
would be compatible with the PDS-128Plus controller.

If anybody who has experience with this, please let me know whether
this works and what to get to make it work.

Thanks!
