Hi All,
I found a eprom that is a 27128A. I know that the 2764 is used
for the bass and snare drums and the 27128 is for toms.
What does the (A) mean on the Eprom that I found and can it be
used in the SDS EPB unit to be used in my SDS7 brain.
If someone can help me out with this that would be sweet.

Sometimes erasable and sometimes not, but they sure sounds wicked indeed when put in a SDS-1 like I've done with many. :) -- electronically yours, jesper - harvest those digitals... - -- --- ---- ----- ---- --- -- - www.electronic-obsession.se www.myspace.com/machinepop - -- --- ---- ----- ---- --- -- -

Hello, if you don't get copies in your country, email to me: michael.buchner@... and you can get prices and sounds available. Of course, the original SDS9 proms are available. By the way: Are you sure your proms are dead? Michael

Exchanging a battery in a 20 year old electronic music machine is no problem, it's a necessity.

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... Gordon

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.
