SDS7 + SDS1 EPROMS

SDS7 + SDS1 EPROMS

2010-03-19 by Reek

I just unearthed about 100 SIMMONS sound Eproms. Some original factory, some of the "Super-7" Sound library I developed for Group centre in the US way back when and a few custom chips. I have no way to duplicate these so when they are gone, they're gone.

Would these include sounds for the Sillicon Mallet?

Hi Derek, I don't know the format for the mallet but my guess would be no.
These are the 8 bit linear EEPROMS with a single sound on each chip.

Hi Pat,
I have the old EEPROM blower that I THINK works. I should be able to check them on that. There's no reason they would have gone bad that I can think of. 
Send me a direct email to Havok@... and I'll forward the list to you.

All the best,

Reek Havok

All the best,
