Do you mean the entire drive? or just a 3.5" disk?
I used to play Korg instruments, then I took an arrow to the knee.

Ti -

Case of apples and orange pick-up trucks... not even close.

The floppy disk contains only numbers defining parameters for the 01W's architecture on a Korg formatted disk, which Tyros does not share by many degrees of separation; different makers, different synthesis methods, different generations, etc.

A parameter/program (i.e., factory voices) disk might as well be written in Martian. If it were a sample disk of some sort maybe you could make something happen, but even then sample rates and formats from 01W's time (what, 15 years ago?) and today could still mean too incompatible to really work.
