What you need is a utility called "PianoDisc Diskette Manager" by
Giebler Enterprises.  This third party software will copy disks,
convert them to general midi, or convert general MIDI to PDS format.
Unfortunately it is a DOS based program so you will need to follow the
directions carefully.  Once you learn your way around it you should
have no problem.  It is really pretty simple to use.  The web page is
here: http://www.midifile.com/

They also offer a variety of similar software for other manufactures
including the Yamaha Disklavier system, QRS, and all the major digital
keyboard and sequencer manufacturers.
