Hi Bebop and all,

I too received a cool USB miniature hard drive (similar to Bebop's) for Christmas. Mine is a Trek brand: Thumb Drive Smart:

I can simply insert this tiny thumb sized device into the USB port on my Windows XP computer and PRESTO, it recognizes it as an external HD. I'm finding it a quick & easy way to easily transfer data between my computers. The device is so tiny that wearing it around your neck is probably the safest way to insure it doesn't get lost.

Unfortunately, the 'A Type' plug equiped on these USB miniature hard drive devices can't be plugged directly into the Yamaha Tyros' 'B-Type' USB port. I'm wondering if there is some sort of an 'B to A type' USB port converter adapter' available for sale. Does Anyone here know? Still, I kind of DOUBT that the Tyros would be able to recognize the data on a mini USB hard drive device even if it could be plugged directly into the Tyros' USB port, as I suspect: 1) the Tyros is really ONLY designed to recognize external data from its own onboard floppy & hard drive, and because 2) these mini USB hard drive devices work only on Windows or Mac OS computers. The Yamaha Tyros' OS (operating system) is not Windows or Mac.
