What a drag Bluezplayer.

Well, that's interesting to know that a regular floppy drive will fit into the PSR740's bay. Then it would fit into the PSR2000's bay. That's good to know in case lightning strikes twice.

Why don't you ask your music store to get involved in this problem the way our proactive friend George Kaye would get involved? They might not be able to pull as many strings as George, but maybe they can make something happen.

I own two PSR2000s, since this is my gigging instrument of choice, I want to be protected if one goes bad. One stays in the trunk of my car and the other stays hooked up to my computer for recording and practice.

Of course I don't have the luxury of owning a PA80 like you do Bluezplayer. But for those who can afford two of the same keyboard, I recommend it if you use that keyboard heavily for gigging.

I have a friend who would keep an extra keyboard in his SUV in case one doesn't work at a gig. He has two of everything right there in his vehicle, and he never has to really worry about anything going wrong. I don't have that luxury of space with a Hyundai Sonata. But it's always good to have a backup, even at home.

I guess the PSR1000 is better than nothing, but doesn't quite cut it.

All I can say is, I hope you get that keyboard soon. I had a PSR740 in the shop for 7 weeks. It's frustrating.

The $35 for priority is not as bad as it looks in my opinion. I spoke with a Yamaha authorized repairman, who charges on top of the free warranty work, but does the work immediately. I can't remember how much he told me that Yamaha pays their service reps, but the price I was told was ridiculously low.

With airlines you get first class service and less lines when you buy a first class ticket. I guess this electronic repair place is using the same philosophy, which while unabashedly capitalistic, has some merit.

Best of luck,
