Floppy Drive specs, parking floppy drive heads
 
A:
Kurzweil Floppy Drive Specifications for K2xxx models

Floppy Drive Models
-------------------
Sony MP-F17W-02
Sony MPF520-1
Samsung SFD-321B

The Sony model should be your first choice.
You have to set the ID # to 0 (zero)
Computers have the Id set to # 1 (one),
So you have to change the switch to ID=0

In theory, you can use any 1.44 computer floppy drive,
but you have to change the ID to 0.

When transporting your keyboard, if it has a floppy drive you
should park the heads to prevent damage. Some keyboards (like
the Kurzweil K2000/ K25000 series) allow you to do this manually:
Go to the DISK page, and hit LOAD with no disk inserted. The K2xxx
will tell you to insert a disk. At that point, turn the power off,
and your heads are safe. Some people will insert a junk floppy disk
into the drive before transporting, and this does work to a certain
extent, but you still run the risk of head damage if your roadie or
friend drops the board!
