| 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. ;-)
