Yeah, it is sad that things like this happen after all they seem
to have tracked down replacement drives for nearly every synth out there.
Especially sad for me since I have customers on my side that get affected
in their turn. I simply have to fork out the money for the drive for
my customer from my own pocket as i simply wont let him suffer for
something like this.

I\ufffdll never go the route 66 way to get a drive again, better research and
order from other sources IMO.
