Vintage Simmons Drums (UK) Users Group

Then I probably suppose that there are no Simmons SDS7 cards that 
will hold more than 16k (depending on the card type). I'm wondering 
if there is a possibility to make an SDS7 hold cards that contain 
multiple 8k or 16k EPROMs as one sample, such as making the full-
length Linn crash sample converted to 8-bit linear from the original 
4k chips with the use of an Oberheim Prommer and place the newly 
burnt 8k or 16k EPROMs on the cards.
