I am seriously considering doing this type of a transplant. IDE PATA SSD drives that would work with the OASYS are available, and a 32Gb unit isn't outrageously expensive ( <$100 USD). I'm still in the research phase, but I'm pretty sure I'm gonna give it a shot in the relatively near future. If I do, I will extensively document the procedure - what you would need hardware and software wise to image your existing drive to the SSD, where to get the hardware and software, how to actually do the drive imaging and hardware swap, and any gotchas that I come across.Hedegaard wrote:...But that wouldn't/couldn't stop Korg from retro-fitting our Oasys with SSD instead of a HD. ...

Yes, do that! And please document everything, because it will be interesting to do in about 10 years time when the HD finally crashes....bax wrote:I am seriously considering doing this type of a transplant.

This kind of process is something that any halfway experienced IT or technical person can probably do in their sleep given the right software and tools...and with the right documentation, I would expect people with substantially less experience (but a taste for giving it a try and an ability to carefully follow directions) could handle.
I have no real hope that this would make any meaningful difference with respect to Korg providing further enhancements to the OASYS, but it would provide a "new" hard drive as well as substantially faster loading times...not a huge deal, but it would be fun to make it work anyway!
I'll start a thread on the OASYS subforum when/if I actually embark on the project...
Thanks!

Prices quoted in Europe often include VAT, whereas prices quoted in U.S. do not include sales tax. And VAT can be quite a bit higher than sales tax, since unlike those countries, the U.S. does not have any national sales tax (relying primarily on income tax instead).Randelph wrote:And look at the pricing in other countries: why do Europeans and many people around the work pay a third? more than I do in the US? Whats up with that?
I think it was smart to build in a button for future use, regardless of whether they ultimately used it or not. It provided another possibility they could work with. I don't think they were obligated to use it. Better to build in something you might wish for later, than to develop an idea later and wish you had built in a way to do it.SirRoyRogers wrote:...How about the function button? No answer.
