Just wondering if this will have a negative effect on the sales of that particular model, since not every keyboard player/buyer will have a PC. I suppose that's the way things are going, even with PCs - removable drive moving toward CD only. I've still got a 5 1/4 drive on one of my PCs !! 
Hey Bill, ya wanna buy some 5.25 floppies??
I still have an IBM laptop, (maybe the first one ever sold), with the operating system on 5.25 floppies. When you turn the laptop on you have to install the first of two floppies that have the operating system on them.
If you remember this, then I am sure you have earned your stripes
