Rich, Unfortunately this is a non starter. IDE converters won't work, the software emulators would need the software written to understand the technics interface to standard floppy drives, likewise for the datastorage device. Considering the costs involved you would be better putting the money towards a more modern keyboard with better a sample rom than something like a KN3000.
Hi Tony, yes keysoft made 2 versions which Walt Tenay asked me to write some small booklets for many years ago. The basic version was HX3 and had 3 partitions, each partition had 240 directories or folders, each folder with 16 technics save slots with a useful 26 character naming. Floppies could be copied to a folder in one pass, but only with the floppy names on the keyboard. There was a free pc program which allowed you to write long names on the pc for each floppy file which then was copied with the floppy direct - much faster than loading, renaming, and saving each individual file.
The more expensive version was HX6 and added features such as 100s of programmable playlists and a ram screen to load up some future tracks while a song was playing with auto start and auto load. It had 4 extra audio out sockets which could be programmed to output various parts. Also a parallel socket which connected to your pc or laptop with a program in windows to backup the disk, transfer files and folders, rename, re-order, edit playlists etc etc.

Hello Tony, Thanks for your info, I had a feeling it would be all too easy, nevermind, Another thought which was puzzling me is, I had a email from a kn3k user in the Netherlands saying his hard drive had failed but it wasn't an original, ,,quote from him,, My old KN 3000 harddrive (which is crashed , after many years good perform ) was not an original sy-hdi but was a : IBM DSOA 21080 specs: 1024mb 16 Heads 63 sectors and 2100 cilinders. So there are stil some of the drives on the market http://www.pchub.com/uph/laptop/388-24183-1067/IBM-DSOA-21080-HDD-IDE-2.5-1GB-Below.html I think the missing link is the ""HD-HSO3000" program for the SY-HD1 drive, extention file thats needed to be put into the root of the hard drive for the kn3k to see the drive and accept it, as formatting it would be easy, maybe, just a thought that the file extention could also be put into the root of the emulators as well, just a thought,,,could you scratch your head on this for a minute, thank you. if anyone who has any Idea's and has the file HD-HSO3000" program for the SY-HD1 drive, would like to contact me about this, I would be grateful. Ralph
