Re: [xl7] Re: FLASH SIMM update

2011-01-04 by Jack Pratt

I have an A2K and I hope that it will work. But I only have one ROM for it (the 
one that came with it) and I haven't checked that it can decode multiple slots 
[ie the two that are available]. 


I am planning for an AUDITY mode so a single ROM should work, but unless you 
have multiple Audity ROMs... The problem is that the audity uses presets on the 
ROM (no additional preset memory) so it weill work, but perhaps in a limited 
fashion.

happy new year, jack. love your work!

I see this as a great way to keep my roms safe at home (probably somewhere near 
my ultra) & fill my various proteus chassis (two p2k, virtuoso, PE, XL7) with 
these flash devices. so- 4 or 5, + the programmer, definitely.

I don't suppose it will work in the audity, will it? I think that would be 
asking too much... :-) the a2k was my first emu rompler, about nine years ago, & 
in late 2002 I made enough of a fuss with someone at emu (lynne buck, I think 
her name was) that they sent me the expansion rom for it.... at least, they said 
they'd "found one" left over after the a2k was basically abandoned as a product 
in favour of the proteus.

there are significant differences in the way the data is stored.
what they sent me was the right sound set but actually on a 16MB flash simm. 
I've been too afraid of having an accident to try erasing this simm in an ultra- 
after all, although I can copy the noises of it onto the HD, there's no 
guarantee of getting them back onto it.

any thoughts?
