Need help getting a song off an old W7 disc

Unread post by jeremygloff »

Hey friends,

Back in the 90s I had a Yamaha W7. I went gypsy lifestyle for awhile and gave away (or sold) everything I owned and with that went the W7.

I still have my old discs and on there is one song I never finished. I am pretty ignorant when it comes to technology - is the only way to extract this song is find someone with a W7 who could get it for me?

I'd be willing to pay whatever to get this song - I'm sure it sucks but my curiosity is piqued. I found this forum and I'm not sure where else to turn!

Back in the day that keyboard sure opened up the world for me - good times <3

I have an SY77 and W7 is newer than that, so I am also certain that you can read your old floppy on standard PC floppy drive.
Whether of course you can actually play it without a W7, is another story entirely.

I do wonder if the disc is a MIDI file that I could read in Logic, or if it would have to go into a W7 to get extracted!
