If you have good external speakers on the organ, and a quiet location in which to make a recording, you could try using a ubs microphone connected to a computer (running audio software) to record the organ performance. Alternately, you could use a digital audio recorder like a Tascam which could save the audio file in mp3 or wav formats, and then connect the recorder to a computer by a cable to transfer the audio file to the computer.

You might also find the answer to the questions that others here have brought up, of whether the file recorded on the Lowry's floppy disk is an audio file or instead a control file, a set of coded organ-playing instructions, within the Lowry group of the Organ Forum, as mentioned in the last comment on this page:

Good luck!
