Does anyone have a solution to hard disk memory- I am out of space, have 40GB of stuff loaded. I have talked directly to Yamaha who are trying to find a solution- I told them I will not buy any more software if I cannot add it to my hard disk. Anyone else have this issue? Thanks. Michael

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!
