Cass it is 9 megs..I tried to send to your Gmail account...and it returned..Do you want me to try your other email address?

Cass open Skype and accept

GOT IT!! Haven't been able to stop playing it. Cass as you say it's a monster of a machine, it is! Key feel is great. 76 keys even better I feel very comfortable with the extra keys.

I had my wife listen A/B both the Tyros 2 and the G70. Her back was turned toward me so she could not see which I was playing I played 3 different tunes A/B ing them each time she picked the G70 as being "Richer Sounding"

The organs are fantastic......lots of terrific features on this board. I'm playing thru a set of Bose headphones now.......and really gettin' blown away with what's coming thru them VERY LIVE SOUND!!

It's gonna take some work to get the OS down and at this point I don't find it as user friendly as the Tyros2. Fran I'm sure as the days go on, I'll have questions for you.....More to follow..........now back to the board

Steve do you have ver3.0 installed?

Yes, either Hank B or Don Mason updated it when Hank owned the board.

AFAIK, there is no way to use USB flash drives...

All my experiences come from CF cards.. no problems there. But you may indeed have a faulty or outside spec PCMCIA adapter. We have many SM card users at roland-arranger.com that seem to be happy.

Whatever... If you can't beat 'em, join 'em. $13 at Best Buy got me a CF reader and I used my 32mg compact flash card. Everything formatted and ran as it should. Yeah!!!

I must have tried every possible way to load that SM card up - no go. Something's not right, so I'll lay them aside and go the CF route.

Steve - glad you like the G70. It just keeps getting better, believe me. Learn how to use those drawbars and the touch screen and you'll think you're at the controls of a B3, for sure.

I've got to learn how to use the One Touch feature better and maybe program my own sounds so that I know what to expect when I press a number.
