Hi Larry
If what Gary is telling us is true, I would think that as long as there's already one cord coming out of the keyboard with this device, I would think one could run the power cord out and plug into a power stip using a power converter from Radio Shack.
Also, I am thinking if something would go wrong with the keyboard, what would prevent one from removing the HD?
What do you think about these ideas, as I am still considering the HD myself.
