Bill, that's the kind of stuff that made me refuse to buy the KN6000. I needed a hard drive and I just couldn't put up with the lack of support by Technics and the absurd cost of that form of mass memory. But, I think this is a different kind of thing. Although I would have prefered compact flash modules, SD memory modules are used in several products and could well become a new standard. That makes the modules much cheaper. But, if Technics puts the memory device in some sort of unique container that forces us to buy an expensive unique module again, I'll have to go elsewhere. I really don't think they will.
