Hi Kevin,

I would be pleased to help you test your software, especially when you  
get the search feature working.

I do have a wireless card on my laptop PC and it does see the DKV  
wireless network.  I can use the PC laptop and my iMac as well to move  
files from Mark IV to the PC for transmission via e-mail using the To/ 
 From PC Folder on the Mark IV.

The really frustrating part about having my internal HD filled on my  
Mark IV is that I am unable to directly  load new Yamaha software on  
the external 250 GB USB HD attached to my Mark IV.  Of course, I can  
add my own recordings to the external USB HD.  I suppose this is due  
to Yamaha's copy protection, but it has simply prevented me from  
purchasing any additional Yamaha software since I have no where to  
store it.

What I would really like to do is to move some of the Yamaha CD  
software stored on my internal HD of the Mark IV to the external USB  
HD attached to the Mark IV and play it from there.  This would allow  
me to purchase additional software and store it on the external USB  
HD.  Any chance that your software could enable this?  Please note  
that all of my Yamaha software is legally purchased and I have no  
desire to share it or otherwise violate Yamaha's copy protection other  
than to be able to store and play Yamaha software on my own USB HD for  
my own use only.

Tom
