Re: Kawai Q80
Ive try with the original before put the HxC into the Q80 and same result. But for mounting the HxC into Q80 i needed a floppy ribbon largest cause is not the same like the floppy drive.
The question is: Must I put in On another switch from HxC as the number 1?
Thanks

Re: Kawai Q80
Bad news. I change numbers 1 and 4. And again I can format but when im going to save my own song ..."disk unavailable ". Externe is that after format, there are again the DR-550II and the others files I said before.

Re: Kawai Q80
I bought HxC because the floppy drive crashes.

Maybe that the floppy drive problem wasn't directly related to the drive itself.javierdonu wrote: ↑Thu Jul 19, 2018 8:57 amFloppy drive does not recognized any floppy disk. NO format. NO read...

With these 20/30 years old machines, capacitors are becoming more and more prone to failure and the power supplies issues are more and more present with some "funny"/hard to diagnose behaviours. There are already some examples on this forum. That's why i am asking about the old drive.
Have you another machine to test the HxC drive ? (PC or anything else ?)

No
Q80 was the only machine with floppy (now HxC).
It was another reason to change it.

Re: Kawai Q80
Good News!!!
I've changed pin direction in the floppy ribbon and it works!!!
I can format, save my own file, load and delete it
Thanks for your patience.
Another question is... Can I read and export to my computer these files (what are into the DSKA000x.HFE)?
Thanks again !!!

Re: Kawai Q80
Yes. The floppy ribbon was one conector to motherboard and two connectors to Floppy emulator. In the begginingI used the the final connector who was a little twisted . But i changed and I used the middle conector ... and it works. So, was the twisted cable.
And...Please. Can I read the content in a .HFE file? I would like to save Midi files from Q80 directly in my computer, reading the SD card
Thanks again.
