TB303 RAM again

[Trevor Page]

Hi all,

I'd first like to say many thanks to those of you who offered advice
regarding getting hold of the RAM ICs as used in the 303. Yeah Roland are
very good, I shall try them on Monday. I hear people knocking them all the
time, but personally I think their service is excellent. Especially for
spare parts.

Anyway, last night I removed the offending memory chip. I nosed around my
spares boxes, and found a 2114. Same type of memory, same pinout! I was dead
chuffed when I plugged it in and... it worked!! Great, I thought. Sorted!

And then I wake up this morning, and find the brand new four quids worth of
batteries are dead.

Dammit... obviously the 2114 draws a lot of current.... bah! Oh well, at
least I know why the run/battery indicator started going erratic last night.

Cheers,

Trev
