Michael,

I have repeatedly asked for a larger HD than the 80 GB HD on the Mark  
IV.  I have not had any space left on my Mark IV's HD now for over  
three years.  Prior to that time I regularly bought Yamaha software,  
but since filling my HD I have ceased entirely to buy Yamaha software.  
I have an external USB high capacity drive attached to my Mark IV, but  
of course you cannot install or copy Yamaha software on to that  
external drive.

About a year ago Bill Brandom of Yamaha indicated to me in a private e- 
mail that he was raising this issue with the Japanese on one of his  
trips there, but since then I have never heard any more about it and  
Bill has not been present on these forums for a long time.

High capacity hard drives are very inexpensive now, and I cannot  
believe that it would be difficult for Yamaha to replace the HD in the  
Mark IV with a much larger HD, but they seem to have no interest in  
doing so and apparently the only way to get a larger HD will be to buy  
the Mark V when it comes out -- a very expensive solution to the  
problem!
