Hello

I also posted this question on Yahoo PSR style forum. Vince Cochran the fellow from the UK that sells hard drives and is recommended by the guys that run the main forums answered someone by the name of Oliver was the one. I did a little research and found the address:
www.musitronics.org

His name is Oliver Schartz. This is in Germany. I wonder if this is the one Tom was talking about. Maybe this is no joke. (Boy, I just read my posts from last night I think I was perhaps a little over-tired)

I have e-mailed Oliver. I will let you know what I find out.

Hi ScottL: Hmmm. I checked the Musitronics website and found no mention of a hard drive specificly for the PSR2000. Nevertheless, I'm hopefully anxious to find out what you hear from them, cause outfitting the PSR2000 with an internal hard drive (and at $160) sounds almost to good to be true. The only real complaint I've had about the PSR2000 is the lack of a hard drive, so if this can be solved, this would be a FAR more economical route than upgrading to the Tyros, and with the 2000, you get the great sounding built speakers, with the Tyros you don't. - Scottyee

I remember a while back that Sony was coming out with a high capacity floppy drive. It would be something like 200 times the storage as a typical 1.44 floppy. I have heard that it is easy to swap out the floppy on the 2000 if the drive should be faulty. I have done this on many PCs and seems a pretty easy thing to do. I don't know if the pin (plug in) is the same for an off-the-shelf floppy drive but if it is and the High Capacity ones are compatible it seems that you could do-it-yourself. I am a do-it-myself type person (I built my own house with my own 2 hands (see my URL)) and have put together computers from scratch as well. I will try to do some research and see if this can be used.

Brian: We PSR2000 owners all anxiously await to hear the results of your research, as the PSR2000's lack of mass storage support seems (to me) its only major shortcoming. - Scott

Hi

I hope we're on to something here. ScottY: I haven't heard back yet from Musitronics. As soon as I hear something I will let you know.. I also asked if they didn't if they knew of anyone that was, I even mentioned the Russia thing. Between that and Brians ideas I am getting hopeful. Fingers crossed.

Hi

Has anybody looked at the inside of the PSR2000 to see if a hard drive could be plugged in?

Scott L

Boys and girls,

Here is the link to the website that has the hard drive for the PSR1000/2000
http://www.2av.com.ua/indexe.htm

Never tried it though.
Good luck !

WOW LADIES AND GENTLEMEN!!!!!

This is it!! Tom was right, no joke (Tom hope I didn't offend you with my attempt at some humor)

They are located in Ukraine (Russia).

I have e-mailed them to get the scoop.

Another address was listed from Germany, but I could not e-mail them.

I will let you all know as soon as I know any details that might be important.

Russia of all places.

Thanx

Hello

Just to let you know I put a post on the Yahoo psr styles forum as well as the PSR2000 forum to see if anyone has any experience with this devise or company.

I think I personally would want a lot of info before I got something from Ukraine.

I am also hoping that Brian can find something out that sounds favorable, as this might be another good option or maybe even the way to go about this.

I'll keep you all posted.

This is fasinating news that I've been wanting to hear for a long time, though as ScottL states, I'm remaining skeptical until we can find out more about the success & reliability of both the product & the company itself. Thanks Lukitoh for the weblink, Brian & ScottL for your detective work, and of course my good buddy Tom Griglock (TomTomSF) for bringing all this up in the FIRST place. You guys are the GREATEST ! - Scott
