Hi Bebop: My Technics KN5000 was outfitted with a hard drive and it was transported daily to/from gigs for almost 3 years. Never had a single problem. I of course always took extra care to avoid excessive banging, but it did receive its share of bumps, though never dropped. You should have no problems with your PSR9000 & HD if you exercise care, as I already know you do.

Bebop, give my best to our Synthzone buddy Frank Bez while you're down in Pismo Beach. Btw: I've got a gig scheduled there in February, so perhaps you and Jan can plan a second trip then and catch my show.
