Ok, let me tell you how I did it. I first tried out the harddrive with the old 9000 format (4 x 2 Gig fat), that worked fine.

Then I connected the harddrive to my XP PC and was surprised to find out that the little device tricks XP to think that the harddrive is an internal HDD.

Now in Disk management (rightclick My Computer, Manage, Disk management) I removed all the partitions, Created one Primary partion of 4 Gigabyte, and an Extended partition of the rest of the drive.

In that Extended partition I created 2 Logical drives from 12 and 2 Gig. I placed some files on it and did the test.

The 3000 seemed happy to work with the disk, but it look as if it was a bit slow. So I reformatted the 3 partitions (shown as USB1, USB2 and USB3) with the PSR-3000.

Now I returned to the PC and started filling the disks. I have now 1000s of styles and 100.000s of midifiles on it. The response time is not much slower as the solidstate solutions (thump-drives).

By the way: On page 195 of the manual it states that a harddrive is possible. The big surprise for me was that the 3000 can bring up the power (5V, 1A), shows USB1, USB2 and so on for the partitions and that it accepts FAT32.
