Hello Ed !
OK, i have a job in electronics, and before it was a hobby for me when i
was a teenager.... So for me it's quite natural. Jimmy, if you're afraid
at removing the cover of your keyboard and changing something inside,
don't worry, don't be ashamed and try to find someone to fix it for you.
Maybe one of your friends can do that for you ....
I'm still trying to get the last O.S. revision of the AN1X here in
France... i suppose it will be a lot of fun, just looking at the eyes
of the local Yamaha dealer (!) ... He told me "impossible, there is no
floppy disk drive on the AN1X" (!!). I have to give him a mini
electronics course about ROMs, RAMs and so on ...
Cheers
J.F.
