Converting Yamaha SY85 files....WTF?

So I finally bought a floppy drive to read the old Yamaha SY85 disks and most of them the drive did not read but I managed to pull about 20 files off the few that did. I renamed them to .mid but in Cubase nothing gets imported. Does anyone have any info on how to convert the original SY85 format to midi because renaming them doesn't seem to do the trick.

So I got 20 files that I might be able to do nothing with......is that possible? Would I absolutely need someone with the SY85 to properly get the midi info from?

What needs to be done? I tried downloading some SY77/99 DX/SY file system, but I think that's if you have the SY85 connected because it's searching for midi devices. It's called FM-Alive (SY Manager and DX manager)

The SY85 files originally have the extension Song.G07 and stuff like that.
