Thanks Jesper, as posted back to Berk Aarts:

Yeah I know sounds kinda wierd but had to start somewhere and
replacing the battery at least gave me static memory again, have
removed the voice eproms as suggested by Steve and still no result,
have the manual and there is no reference to the number 6 as an
error, have also checked the power supply (your advice) and all is
good there as
well, the only clue I have is that by removing the Eprom from inside
on the board (SDS9 6.0)nothing happens at all at power on and
reinserting takes the system back to the fault, could it be possible
that this eprom has lost information from the lack of power over the
period of time and is causing my errors? I assume this provides all
the other sound banks and if they are missing then I guess there is
nothing to display.
Thanks again
Trevor
