Subject: Re: [Simmons Drums] Making EPROMs for Drumtraks with my EPB?

From: Thomas Heckmann <troperecordings@...>

Hi Chris,

Simmons uses the Linear Format for EPROMs, which is not compatible with your Drumtraks.
You would need an Oberheim Prommer (can do both and swap as well) or a PC with a program to change this.
Best,
Thomas

Hi guys.

I recently acquired a SCI Drumtraks. My thinking was that I would be able to use my Simmons EPB to make my own EPROMs. 

Can anyone give me any advice on doing this? I've had my EPB for years but I've never had a chance to use it. Are there any good resources online for this kind of thing? Info seems pretty scarce. 

Also, can I fit zif sockets into my Drumtraks? I've had a look in there and there doesn't seem to be a lot of room even if using the aries low profile ones. Is it a case of fitting zifs in certain positions but not in others? 

Thanks

Chris
