Re: Korg D8; Extra HDD
<< Interesting. I called Korg and was told the internal drive was
"proprietary" and that fitting a new internal drive was impossible.>>
Funny, that's exactly what Roland said when their VS-880 came out with
a
540 meg hard drive. But I upgraded mine to 4.3 gig anyway (and several
others on the VS-880 list). Check it out: I believe those discussions and
my
instructions are kept in some little FAQ archive now, since I regularly
get
email from people still wanting to do that upgrade themselves. My "15
minutes of fame". ;-) A little more complicated job than the Korg D-8,
though. You have an internal SCSI bus and an EIDE bus available to you in
the Rolands and a drive bay that will hold a 3.5" drive. The problem is,
the
power supply won't tolerate any drive that draws more than 10 amps (more
or
less) on startup. So the 2.5" Toshiba drives I bought from Siliconel were
the perfect solution. And that doesn't always happen. BTW, Javier: the
D-8
upgrade is a piece a cake. If it takes you ten minutes, you're movin'
awful
slow. ;-)
