I made a deal with a hot young lady...nah that's not what the project is about!!

I purchased her Roland E-600 [so I can leave it at the CrabTrap for two month stay]..BTW: I use to own one before..and I think it is in the top 5 arrangers I have owned...make that the top seven...

My project....I purchased a new Super Floppy..144MB drive[Caleb]...My plan is to install it in place of the Roland 1,44 drive..What do you all think...hit or miss?

I know my friend Domenik will have the answer....BTW Domenik, I still have a couple Mega Floppies..That may be an alternative too..

I've never seen that keyboard before. When was it issued and MSRP? We've never read about it on the SZ - have we?

I just can't keep up with all these models from these manufacturers.

Cass...relax...this is a 1999 model.

No it does not compete with the DisCover5...The DisCover5 is in a class of it's own..

Don't sell that G70 short...there is not a better board available...No other board was able to replace your VR760 and DisCover5..

Most of your discontent will be passed when you learn the ins and outs of the G70..

If you are still distressed I will trade you even up...my E-600 for your G70..
