I have a suggestion for the USB port, if possible of course.
What if you would allow the USB port to use USB memory sticks? That would facilitate a lot of things, like saving shows, personalities, shape files etc...
Just a suggestion though ...

Usb port
I think too that is a great idea! The disk-drive is not anymore the best way to
save show/personality data.. Many new laptops don't even have disk drives on their default configuration...
Also the flash-memory could more faster than the fd.

i already posted this one in the old forum. but that was just before the new forum started.
maybe it's an option to connect the desk directly to the pc via the usb port. so you can save everything directly to the pc.

hi,
I'd just like to drag this topic up again; I searched for USB in the forum and this was closest to what I was looking for, so apologies if this question has already been answered.
We're hopefully about to acquire a Pearl 2004; a problem I have at work is we don't have any floppy drives in our PCs, and I'd like to use my USB key drive ideally to save shows to, and transport them to the PC for offline editing and simple backup. Is this a feature that's been implemented, or is planned? I haven't had a good look at a 2004 in the flesh, but the picture in the manual looks like a USB device port, rather than a USB host port, is this correct?
Cheers in advance!

Unfortunately, you'll need to get yourself a floppy disk drive for your PC and a stock of disks.
As you've spotted in the manual the Pearl 2004 only has a device port and so cannot power USB devices itself. Unfortunately, the desk was designed before host ports were commonplace in most electronics and before PCs without floppy disk drives were in wide usage.
