Also check the kevbed/pcb's for leaking glue. If the keybed hasn't been replaced or repaired then there s a fault with they keybeds used in a lot of higher end roland keyboards where the glue holding in the key weights breaks down dripping on to the keybed pcb. If not looked at/fixed it can irreversibly damage the keybed making it useless. There are plenty of tutorials on how to fix it online.

The floppy drive, if non-functioning will need to be a specific type iirc as it needs jumpers that are omitted from most PC drives, or replacement with the correct floppy emulator.
