List of ROM Serial Numbers...

List of ROM Serial Numbers...

2010-03-26 by frendn8

Hello everyone,

I was wondering if any of you out there have a list o ROMs with the APXXXXX-XX
serial numbers to verify the identity of each ROM. If you know of a link to site with that info, that'd be sweet as well :)


Aloha,

Nate

Hi Nate.
You may recall that I bought a pair of your ROMs when you were auctioning them a while back.
If you join the p2k group then you will find in the files section a text file which details all of the AP numbers that explains what they are and what they mean. I put it there after figuring it all out [after buying your ROMs and we didn't know what they were - so you didn't get nearly as much for them as they were worth]
The four or five digits after the AP is the PCB number [you can find that on the SIMM board written in copper if you look], and the last two (after the hyphen) identify the ROM type. This is from 01 (composer from p2k) to 24 (protean drums). I've never seen an 05 so I suspect that it was an in house or never released variant. In the end I acquired 22 of the 23 different ones available [so if anyone wants to part with a composer ROM from a P2500 I could be interested].
I also put a bit of information about other AP numbers (like A2K and FLASH SIMMs).
Perhaps that file also belongs in this group....
cheers

Hello Again Jack,
I sold off all my E-MU gear to move into a new place with my wife. Now I'm settled in and looking to re-up m collection. I just bought a PX-7 (My dream synth for years) and I'm looking to acquire a few of the old ROMs I had. 
I'm trying to get The Sounds of the ZR Expansion ROM, Ensoniq Project Expansion ROM, and the Vintage Collection Expansion ROM. Those are my all time favorites of all the ROMs I had. Now it is a matter of finding them all in this bleak, and somewhat, dying availability of E-MU Legacy gear. And eBay seems to be hit or miss these days. 
Any how, Thank you very much for getting back to me. I greatly appreciate it. 
I hope you enjoy your musical adventure. 
-Nate
