Subject: [Simmons Drums] Re: Memory cart clone update.

spent this afternoon (as it's raining cats and dogs) putting together the first 5 boards (foto's in the photo folder). I guess I can do about 6 or seven a day so I should have all the boards put together by this time next week. I'll then test them all, put them in the cases and box them up for mailing.

I'll contact all on my request list and let you know my paypal details. I'll check out the postage cost, but I think it will be the same for all (unless you are in some exotic location) and covered by flat rate international postage.

I'll contact you all for postage addresses soon.

The reason for old generation nicad is that the cart has no fancy charging circuit (as most new types need to charge properly) just an 18ohm resistor to restrict current and a diode. When fitting the new ones make sure you check the polarity as you connect them. Take note that Simmons recommended you plug the cart in once a month for a few hours to recharge the battery.
