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
Bebop

Is Denny the only one besides me that has a hard drive in a keyboard and moves it around. How about some confirmation on this. anybody???

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.

It's snowing here today in Michigan. The Christmas lights dress the homes in the neighborhood...ahh..the midwest!

Scott... When in Feb you gonna be in Fla? I'm headed there the end of Feb and I'd love to catch your act.

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.
