While wandering around eBay a few weeks ago, I found a device that replaces 3.5" floppy drives. To the device it's plugged in to, it looks like a floppy drive, but on the front it has a USB slot, two buttons and a 3 digit display.

The church I do A/V at has a rather old Clavinova with a floppy drive that has never been of much use. As this device was selling for $23, I decided to pick one up just out of curiosity.

(read entire article and photos on my blog)

This is a VERY EASY and cheap upgrade to do. The floppy enclosure on this Clavinova is just a plastic box screwed to the bottom of the unit. Four screws remove the box, two cables come off, four screws remove the mounting plate from the plastic box, then four screws remove the floppy from the mounting plate. Then just reverse the procedure with the new box in place.
