Just WHERE was I was giving out mis-information?
I was only pointing out the increased risks and hassles of soldered in type of ROM chip replacement, and recommending that, if you want it done, that you send it directly to Yamaha.
I then followed up with only my 'personal' opinion, that I myself wouldn't send it back (to Yamaha) for this. Ok, so Yamaha won't charge us for the chip replacement, but are the potential weeks + delays (shipping, repair, possible even re-repair because of soldered chip replacement failure rates, return shipping, etc) worth the benefits of the current ROM chip upgrade? Only you can make that decision.
For myself, as a gigging musician who can't afford to be without my KB for very long: NO! In fact, I'm still happyily performing with the PSR2000 with the older ROM chip, and my audiences are happy as well.
I still think Yamaha should have fullfilled it's original PSR2000 commitment to supporting Flash ROM, but that's 'another' story !
