I'm sooo disappointed ...

[Migs]

I decided I to give my digital piano a lift by adding a Kurzweil PC2R which for some reason has been discontinued: http://www.kurzweil.com/Product.php?id=46.

My piano has a nice weighted keyboard but only a handfull of basic sounds.  It does have MIDI I/o so the PC2R would make it more like this:

This is a songwriter's dream palette! It provides impeccable high quality new sounds including a brand new super dynamic stereo grand piano, stereo strings, Take 6 vocals, brass section, classic electric pianos (FM, Wurlitzer and Rhodes), organs, harpsichord, Clavinet, vibes, marimba, electric and acoustic basses (with and without layered ride cymbal), guitars, drums, percussion and synth sounds. It also features Kurzweil's KB-3 modeled tone wheel organ mode, giving you ultra-realistic tone wheel organ programs with programmable drawbar, vibrato/chorus, percussion settings, and more. Orchestral Sounds include String Sections, Solo Strings, Woodwinds, Orchestral Brass, Jazz Brass, Orchestral Ensembles, Choir, Organ, Harp, Nylon String Guitar, Orchestral Percussion, and Ethnic Percussion.

One finally came up on eBay.  But here is the sad part:



I didn't get an auto-bid on and was pipped at the post.  
The search goes on I guess

Ill keep my eye on that one too.  Its almost at the price of the other one.  Plus it will be a pain to get it back to Aus.

I think I just bought one of these:



Tis an oldskool (but not at the time) Kurzweil K2000r.
Now I just have to fly down south and pick it up.

Looks pretty cool (except for the floppy drive  ).

Here's a demo I found on YouTube:

(except for the floppy drive  ).

I saw that as a strong selling point.  Now I have a use for the 40 floppy disks I have at home.
All I need to do now is find a use for my boxes of 8 inch and 5 1/4 inch disks.  Any ideas would be greatly appreciated.
