would that explain why the proms would not sound? and only the osscilators work?
seems to be that. but, if they are dead, then its a more serious problem...

its times likr this when i wonder why i bother instead of just getting "the sample bank"

heh.

It doesn't actually matter about the type very much.  About the only

time it does matter is if you've got a NiCad battery, which kind of

needs to be replaced with another NiCad or a suitable NiMH - my

Polysix has a NiMH that's a drop-in replacement.



My SDS7 had a lithium battery, which has now been replaced with two

alkaline AA batteries in series.  I did the same thing with my Ensoniq

ESQ-1, and also with a couple of Sun workstations that had flat clock

batteries.  Oh, and some Mac PRAM batteries...
