Yamaha DTXpress/DTXplorer/DTXtreme

Hi Bob,

An option to a new computer would be a hot-swap drive bay with 
removeable tray (ie; http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?
ViewItem&item=2735071461&category=19570) Not suggesting that seller, 
just an example.

I have 4 different tray/HD/OS systems to keep all my stuff separate 
(games/music/internet/video editing). The trays have a lock/key to 
keep prying fingers out. Used hard drives are cheap, but you get what 
you pay for, so...

Good luck,

Steve
