update...

Didn't hear from Yam'UK. Eventually, I bought a scan of 1998 Yamaha catalogue, albeit in Dutch, with prices in florins.Although this does not convert directly to UKP £ due tax differences, country-specific power supplies etc etc, I got a plausible result...PSR-330 ~£ 270 MIDI & Touch Sensitive.vsPSR-225 ~£ 180 MIDI & Touch Sensitive & Yamaha Educational System.Lower specifications lacked MIDI and/or Touch Sensitivity.'330 had more voices & cartridge slot, but '225 had YES.Higher specifications were priced to suit. And, given protagonist's preference for a synth module, not affordable.PSR-530 ~£ 450PSR-630 ~£ 590PSR-730 ~£ 790Humblest Tyro £ 1000+Power supplies extra ??So, given the 'Educational' requirement, looks like a PSR-225 'to follow', and I'll fudge the Autumn-ish 1998 release date by a few weeks...( If any-one quibbles because they have actual dates and/or prices, I'll thank them nicely and update tale Took time out to work on a novelette, but now have essential info to continue this sub-plot. Also, have enjoyed re-reading the period music-theory and MIDI and song-books I've re-acquired or dug out of storage...
