Re: Replace floppy drive with USB EmulatorI brought one of these USB Emulators, for my Technics 6500, took out the floppy drive and then noticed a post on another website that showed a switch being fitted or the emulator will show an error when loading. This put me off installing the emulator.

Re: Replace floppy drive with USB EmulatorI have purchased a GOTEK SFRM72-FU-DL floppy emulator for my Technics KN1000. On removing the original floppy drive module from the keyboard there is no power cable connection between the Technics interface board and the floppy drive - There is just a single 34pin cable.

Re: Replace floppy drive with USB Emulator. The emulators I have used on 4 of my instruments have just been the cheap ones off ebay from China, in each case just plugged that multi pin plug in, formatted it and away it went...Suggest you make a post on Synthzone, there are a couple of electronic technics gurus on there. Possibly better still is the site you are on for seeking technical help [email protected] never experienced a problem with them not powering up. regards Jim

Re: Replace floppy drive with USB EmulatorHi I think the Technics format is diffrent from a PC. I put a flopy disk in my PC from my Technics WSA1, I found the PC cant read Technics format so if the stick you are useing on your Technics is formated on a PC Technics keys wont understand the format. I might be wrong.

Re: Re: Replace floppy drive with USB EmulatorHello all, if I convert to an emulator how do I play my music created and saved on flopys. I have 6 flopys with music I have created on my WSA1?

Re: Replace floppy drive with USB EmulatorMost of these usb emulators don't work with 720k drive interfaces as these are very different to the 1.44 ones. If your keyboard has a standard 1.44mb floppy interface then there is no reason why you can't fit a standard floppy drive or a usb interface however my customers have come back to me saying they cannot get on with it. I don't know if they have improved recently but I stopped fitting them some time ago as they were very much a computer geek add in that didn't go down well with the average home user! I guess it depends on how you like your technology to behave!

Re: Replace floppy drive with USB EmulatorHas anyone converting a Technics KN1500 to a Gotek emulator. I think the floppy is a 720K.
