The s760 doesn't have a hard drive either, so will be the same issue.

at this point with
little technical help available from Roland and with so many S-760s
available for so little money, why not just spring for the S-760? There
are a couple on ebay right now for $125-169. I paid a lot more for mine
seven or eight years ago.

Right, but it's very easy to connect an external hard drive to the S-760.
You know, I assume none of us would consider using a PC from the '80s, and
yet we're using PC-like musical equipment that's well over twenty years
old. It's amazing it all works as well as it does.

It's no easier or harder than connecting an external hard drive to the
S-750... but it would probably be even *harder* to retro-fit an internal
one in there :)

Sorry man, I still use Commodores, Ataris, and Amigas from the '80s... :)
It *is* a wonder that so much of it still works, as you say. But some of
it is requiring serious maintenance too! You almost need a degree in
electronics to keep some of this stuff around. Luckily the Roland stuff
is so incredibly well-built.

I still have my Atari 1040ST which, if I'm lucky, will fire up and maybe
even load up some software. But none of us use twenty or thirty year old
PCs for work or for anything other than music, I'm pretty sure.
