Hi Larry
Unless I read you wrongly - any upgrade would still not enable you to put a CD into a three and a half inch slot.

IS this a typo? I've am not familiar with psr 900 and I have been buying Technics every since the kn800.
I wonder if this could be a psr 9000 which is a yamaha and also the psr9000 pro.
Psr has always been used by YAMAHA as near as i know.
I do have a cd rom drive hooked up to a PSR 9000 Yahama board, using SCSI.

Could it be an SX-PR900?
Picture here : http://cgi.ebay.com/WHITE-PIANO-Technics...0QQcmdZViewItem

Nice looking instrument

If it is a PR900 then the answer to to original question is No! - the operating system would not support a CD ROM and there would be no way to connect such a unit.

Willum ORB,
I just remembered that I bought the first digital piano that Technics brought out. It was a sx-pr90, list price of 5000.00 USD but was being offered to musicians at half price to get some pianos and chat in the market place. It was a great instrument for its time.
Maybe the newer later models before they closed down was a PR900.
whatcha think?

I have a Technics PR900 ELECTRIC PIANO and it is still very much my favourite. A great piano with lots of excellent sounds and rhythms on, BUT I really cannot see how an 'update' to CD can be made. The way I do it is to have The piano linked via an amplifier to a Sony CD Recorder/Player. Works perfectly AND, unlike another well known stand alone CD Recorder/Player, the Sony produces AND plays ALL formats of CD. Great little machine.
