| I have resolved my problem by openning the trinity up and change the floppy drive with one from an older computer and it works, thanks again. |

| You can use a computer floppy drive without any problem,they're the same number of pins,and very easy to change as well,good luck and let me know. |

| I also have a Trinity with a bad floppy drive and Korg tech support told me that any old floppy drive would not work and that I would have to order one from Korg Japan |
