Hi Claudiu,
I'm in Australia, here I'd go to somewhere that sells computers. I've got the same problem with my dell laptop, it has no floppy drive, but I've got another couple of computers that do, so I haven't bothered with a usb drive floppy drive..

I'm not too good on computer stuff, so it would be worthwhile finding out what's compatible with yours ie usb1 or usb2.

Not suggesting you buy from this company, I'm only showing you what I'm talking about.
You certainly don't need both. http://www.tigerdirect.com/applications/category/category_slc.asp?CatId=287 http://www.tigerdirect.com/applications/SearchTools/search.asp?keywords=usb+zip+drives
I've always found a floppy drive handy , just in case I want to download styles or midifiles from the internet to be able to download them on to a floppy disk and use it in my keyboard, or if I want to send a file, you need some way of getting it from your VA76 to your computer.
Possibly a floppy drive may be of more use than a zip drive.

Sorry but I'm not up on mini disk players. Can you download the songs to your computer. I gather they'd be an audio file??

best wishes
Rikki

this is a common misconception, it is not how "hard" you press keys, but how fast they travel between trigger points. Velocity is not the same thing as force and there is no longer any mechanical linkage needing force to produce a volume proportionate response.

Don't worry about the keys on a VA76...they are as strong as any semi weighted keyboard on the market..

thanks you guys.

what about the minidisc player ?
