Hi,

I've got an old Yamaha QY300 sequencer.It is a great machine and i still want to use it.
The problem is that it won't read floppy disks anymore.
I have tried putting in a new FDD but the same errors and messages come up with the new one as the old one, so I don't think it is the drive.
The messages are "illegal format" or "bad disk"
Surely all my floppies cannot be bad.
Even with the new drive if I format a disk then save a song to it, I can see it on the disk, but it will not let me load it back on (same messages as above).
Also when a disk is inserted, the drive does not seem to automatically try to read it like it should.
Has anyone out there had the same problem with their Yamaha gear and found a solution.
I have hundreds of hours work stored on floppies that i can no longer retrieve.
Any help or ideas greatly appreciated.

Please help.

I didn't find the right solution from the Internet.
