To answer the three questions I have been posed. You can't go backwards from zero. I was disappointed in that. You can get to zero immediately by pressing both buttons. The numbers do scroll very quickly when a button is held down.

You can save registrations and everything else as on a floppy. Each bank is exactly like the floppy drive. You can call up internal and user styles via registrations. But you cannot call up floppy styles via registration memory even on the same bank.

You cannot copy and paste from one bank to the other, because each bank is isolated from the others and from the floppy drive. When you use the HDM, the floppy drive has no power source. You can move files from one bank to another with the software - if the software works on your computer.

I will keep you updated on whether the software works on my parents' old computer. If it does, I will do some of my file organizing when I periodically go to their condo. It is disappointing that the software doesn't work on my computer - the software doesn't find my keyboard.

I am very happy, however, with this contraption. I feel like I have beaten Yamaha at their game of crippling the PSR2000's capabilities so that people purchase their flagship models: Tyros, PSR9000, PSR9000 Pro.

I am confident that this system will not cause any electrical difficulties, if anything, it would consume less power than a floppy drive, since it is just a simple circuit board with a flash memory slot.
