Review: Yamaha DGX-500 - I used this product to replace the floppy disc drive on my old Yamaha DGX-500 Portable Grand keyboard. Took some time to get used to it and figure out how to use it, but installation was simple, and after you figure out how to use it it's a very cool upgrade to the old floppy drive. As someone else mentioned, install was just plug and play, and the flash drive if it's too long will be in front of some keys, but slim flash drives are pretty cheap now, so that problem is easily remedied. If you've got some patience, and the skills to install, this is a great cheap product that works well. Cost about the same as a pack of floppy discs on desertcart, and gives a ton more functionality than a floppy would in today's world. Review: This work great in my Haas CNC machine - The first thing I will tell you is this was absolutely Plug and Play for my Haas CNC Milling machine. I'm literally took it out of the box plugged it in mounted it up and it started working like a champ. Even worked with the old brackets. If you have an older CNC machine that still uses floppies 100% go out and buy several of these and put them on your shelf. They're a great price point and they work like a champ. If you need a decent manual or don't already have an innate understanding of how this ancient technology works you might be in trouble and need to rely on the web for support. It does have a single slip sheet manual and is good for a minimal amount of troubleshooting but that's it. If you have a non-standard application then you might be in trouble or need some additional help because the manual absolutely sucks. As far as being a trouble-free install I give it 100% five stars. ## Features - GoTEK 3.5 Inch USB Floopy Disk Drive uses normal USB flash drive as the medium for transfer design. 1.44MB SFR1M44-U100 USB Emulator equipped with 34pin floppy driver interface, 5V DC power supply, easy to install. - USB Emulator Capacity: 1.44MB 2HD Cylinders: 80 Tracks: 160 Sectors/Track: 18 Bytes/Sector: 512 Data transfer rate: 500 kbps Encoding method: MFM. 1000pcs partitions in usb flash drive can be used.

I had to put the jumper across JA and rotated it 180 so that it could be screwed to the floppy plate. When you boot it, have a FAT formatted 2gb or less flash drive plugged in, hold both buttons on the converter down when turning the machine on. The drive will start setting up the folders. If the machine won't boot, let the drive finish formatting the usb flash drive. Once it's done switch the power off and back on and let it boot normally. Once it was booted, I had the 1201 format the file folder selected (000). Once it was formatted my desktop was able to save files to it. File transfers much faster than with floppy and way more folders. I was able to load designs from it and will test it more over the next couple of months. But so far it works and you don't have to wait 2-3 months for the SUE version to arrive from China. **Q: can it format 720K?** A: This model only emulates 1.44 MB disks. However, you can replace the stock firmware with FlashFloppy (open source - find it on github) and emulate almost any type of 3.5" disk media. **Q: Does this emulator allow to write to the virtual floppy images? or it can only read them?** A: It will allow you to create and write to them as well. **Q: Will this work on a Commodore Amiga ?** A: Should. If it doesn't initially, there are dozens of tutorials on y-tube. ## Customer Reviews ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Yamaha DGX-500 *by A***S on August 29, 2024* I used this product to replace the floppy disc drive on my old Yamaha DGX-500 Portable Grand keyboard.

This product for $35 worked as well as the one advertised for the PSR 640 that sold for over $200. Very pleased with this purchase. Price gouging is so common among businesses in America. This purchase was not the case. ## Frequently Bought Together - GoTEK SFR1M44-U100 3.5 Inch 1.44MB USB SSD Floppy Drive Emulator Black - StarTech.com 3.5" to 5.25" Front Bay Mounting Bracket w/ Mounting Screws (BRACKETFDBK),Black - CablesOnline 24-inch Universal Floppy Drive Ribbon Cable for 3.5 or 5.25in Drives, FF-001 --- ## Why Shop on Desertcart? - 🛒 **Trusted by 1.3+ Million Shoppers** — Serving international shoppers since 2016 - 🌍 **Shop Globally** — Access 737+ million products across 21 categories - 💰 **No Hidden Fees** — All customs, duties, and taxes included in the price - 🔄 **15-Day Free Returns** — Hassle-free returns (30 days for PRO members) - 🔒 **Secure Payments** — Trusted payment options with buyer protection - ⭐ **TrustPilot Rated 4.5/5** — Based on 8,000+ happy customer reviews **Shop now:** [https://www.desertcart.tn/products/213861621-gotek-sfr1m44-u100-3-5-inch-1-44mb-usb-ssd](https://www.desertcart.tn/products/213861621-gotek-sfr1m44-u100-3-5-inch-1-44mb-usb-ssd) --- *Product available on Desertcart Tunisia* *Store origin: TN* *Last updated: 2026-06-06*
