Some customers opt to install the Nalbantov unit themselves. Of course, if you have more than 1000 floppy disks, you can invest in another USB stick, although I haven’t run into this particular situation yet!

Because it’s a floppy disk emulator, the Disklavier actually believes you’re inserting a different floppy disk, so as you switch between virtual “disks” by pressing the arrows, you’ll see the display on the Disklavier behave as though you’ve inserted a new disk. And hardly anybody knows how to actually repair a floppy drive-that’s a nearly lost art.Īfter the Nalbantov is installed, you can use a single USB stick to represent up to 1000 floppy disks. I’ve found some floppy disk drives now cost more than the replacement USB emulators, especially if they’ve had minimal use. Cost-effectiveness: USB floppy disk emulators are often more cost-effective than purchasing a new floppy disk drive or repairing an old one.Convenience: USB floppy disk emulators can be easily connected and disconnected, making it easier to transfer data between different computers or to store data.

Speed: USB floppy disk emulators transfer data faster than traditional floppy disk drives, making it easier and quicker to transfer large amounts of data.

Compatibility: USB floppy disk emulators are compatible with modern computers, which may not have floppy disk drives built-in or may no longer support floppy disks.

Most customers reach out to me after their floppy disk drive has failed.

Increased reliability: USB floppy disk emulators are more reliable than traditional floppy disk drives, as they have no moving parts and are less susceptible to mechanical failure.

There are several reasons why you might want to replace an old floppy disk drive with a USB floppy disk emulator, including: I use these regularly in Yamaha Disklaviers, but they can also be installed in keyboards. I’ve recently started recommending customers with worn-out floppy disk drives upgrade them to so-called “Floppy Disk Emulators.” There are a couple of these on the market, but it looks like the easiest to use and most reliable is the Nalbantov USB Floppy Disk Emulator.
