Vintage Simmons Drums (UK) Users Group

Ok so thought id give you all an update, couldnt find schematics 
anywhere, but downloaded the user manual from simmons museum (thanks 
wolfgang!)  unwrapped it, powered it up, wired in some computer 
speakers to the headphone socket...as described lights on no sound, 
did a factory reset as per the manual still no sound, took the top 
off and s**t myself was expecting it to be all transistors and bits 
due to the age (TTL was what i thought it would be) instead im faced 
with a veritable chip shop, at least 5 of which have the simmons 
logo on them and not a lot else...however even a blind monkey could 
have found this one one of the 2 big 23v capacitors had a blown can 
bottom, changed it out and bingo everything works. so SDS2000 
no000397 is resurected, polished and has been added to the 
setup...total cost �50 inc delivery, capacitor free from a box of 
bits and RS �1.95 for some slider knobs.

now questions for all you list gods/demigods/demons or plebs like 
me...does anyone have any idea what sort of card goes in the 
soundcard slot? does anyone, know anyone, who has a friend, who may 
know where to get and how to program the said card, to gain access 
to the other available sounds for this beasty?

no thought not;-)
