HI ALL,
We are off to the Beach in the motorhome on Saturday as the temps here in sunny calif are upper 70's to 80, for several days.
I will be taking the Yamaha 9000 this time. It has a hard drive in it. It will ride on the queen bed while traveling, and it will be moved from one place to another while there, maybe out to a jam or someone's home.
Is this IBM harddrive going to be ok doing this. It is made for a laptop and they are moved around alot. What are the experiences and opinions of our members here.
I have often taken the KN6000 and never a problem but no hard drive either.
PS Anyone near Pismo Beach want to Jam let me know

HI: BEBOP
Must be nice to go to the beach in the middle of November.
Oh well I guess I could to if I wanted to, but it wouldn't be
70 - 80 degree's it would be more like 20 - 30, so I think I will
just stay home & play the PRO.

But anyway you should have no trouble with the hard drive
moving the 9000 around providing you don't drop it down a
flight of stairs or some thing like that. And even at that the
hard drive would no doubt be in better shape the 9000
would be.

Soooooo have a good time at the beach, & hey play a song
for me too.

OK ?

Denny

Thank you for your reply Denny.
We shall have a great time at the beach, swimming in the ocean, pigging out on seafood, playing ebb tide, etc.
I feel more encouraged about the hard drive after reading your remarks.
I had one in the KN3000 but it was just a drop in and I could take it out and carry it in a foam case and drop it back in when I got out the keyboard. Best setup ever built.
KN6000 was a disaster so I don't have one in it. Love the one in the Yam 9000
Thanks

Hi Bebop: My Technics KN5000 was outfitted with a hard drive and it was transported daily to/from gigs for almost 3 years. Never had a single problem. I of course always took extra care to avoid excessive banging, but it did receive its share of bumps, though never dropped. You should have no problems with your PSR9000 & HD if you exercise care, as I already know you do.

Bebop, give my best to our Synthzone buddy Frank Bez while you're down in Pismo Beach. Btw: I've got a gig scheduled there in February, so perhaps you and Jan can plan a second trip then and catch my show.

Hi Glenn: Sorry, I was referring to Pismo Beach, CA, not FLA; But hey, if you can can organize something in FLA, I'll fly out to do a show there. I travel anywhere anytime if the price is right.
