defective floppy drive

[jrrioux]

hi everyone,my floppy doesn't read or format,it says 'an error occured during formating', how can I load pcg or midi files in my Trinity without a floppy,and does anyone know where to buy a floppy that would fit the Trinity please? Thanks to all.

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.

Great .......thanks for letting us know.

my floppy drive just died also and was wondering if any internal floppy drive for a computer could be used to replace the broken one already there - please let me know if anybody knows!

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.

ok i found an old floppy drive that works but i'm having a hard time getting the one out of the trinity. i got the back cover off and got 2 of the 4 screws out of the floppy drive but dont know how to get access to the other 2. check out the image, the screws i cant seem to get to are circled in red. any help would be greatly appreciated. thanks!!

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

i got my floppy from parts is parts. $60 ridiculous ! i may go by the junk computer store and just buy up all the floppys i can and see why some work some dont. i plan on owning trinity's for a long time, and witohut any upgrades like SCSI i will be needing the floppy to upgrade OS and patches.
