Hi, I've been seriously considering the new Kurzweil K2661 as a main keyboard for my fledgeling set up. Its abundant controller options would make it perfect for me, as my left hand is knackered after a stroke, and they're supposed to sound rather marvellous too, with all the K2600 optional extras including the orchestral set included as standard. However I'm concerned that the new 'smart media' means of transferring downloaded OS updates and sound library, or transferring the on board sequencer data to computer sequencer require *DOS compatibilty*. Does this mean one cant perform these tasks on a mac? If so then its a real shame as it looks like one hell of an instrument in every other respect.
John.

I usually transfer sound to my Kurzweil K-2000 either through dos-formatted diskettes or dos/pc formatted Iomega zip-disks

(external Iomega SCSI 100Mb zip drive - this requires that the Kurz have the scsi-option installed - which I have)

The mac reads dos diska jus handy. There are various smart card readers,
scsi-cards, usb-flash memories and what not for the Mac.
