Hello

Like most of us here I'm sure, I have about a zillion disks floating around. What a chore just to check them out and have a system to deal with it.

I am a computer novice, but I got this brainy(?) idea that perhaps an externat hard drive could be "hammed" to work with the PSR2000. I wonder if this would be possible by someone who knows what they're doing? At first I thought a built in hard drive didn't make a difference for me, but I'm really beginning to wonder as I sort through my old disks and the new ones and .....well, I think you get the picture.

Hi Scott
No, you can't attach an external hard drive to your PSR2000. But, there is a hard drive version available from Russia, of all places. I'm not making this up. A guy from the Yamaha-PSR-Styles group even sent in links to the website. Their hard drive functions like 100 separate floppies, only very very fast. These guys can fit the hard drive internally with a LED switch on the front edge of the computer, You use that to select what floppy directory you want. It all looked very ingenious. They are the only ones to have done something like this. And, if I remember, it was pretty cheap, something like $160 installed.

Hi Tom: Please provide a 'direct link' to the Russian website which sells this supposable hard drive. Thanks. - Scott

ScottY: lol, you sound just like me. It's as if I can read your thoughts. Mainly because I was going to ask for the same I guess. I have searched around, but have not found anything under Russia, PSR2000, hard drive.

Tom: This looks interesting. I hope you can find the link we're looking for.

Thanx

lol. It's great. You make me laugh tonight. I hope I don't get slap-happy. You now it's 1:44 AM here now. You know what happens to our free-spirited musicians minds in the wee hours.

Hey ScottY

Do you suppose Tom is just playing a joke? You know the part where he says " I'm not making this up" makes me wonder. It reminds me that almost invariably when somebody says "to tell the truth" you better get ready for a whopper.

Well, 'to tell the truth', this sounds like: To Russia With Love via the Orient (one way) Express . . . hasta la vista 2000
