Re: [sgroup] SP700 memory- where to get

I don't own one myself, but according to Roland's information ( http://www.rolandus.com/uploads/CMS/Downloads/110/SamplerCompGuide.pdf ) the SP-700 uses 30-pin, 4x8MB(?), 100ns SIMMs. This type of RAM goes all the way back to the days of 286/386 and early 486 PCs. They used to come in sizes of 256 KB (256k*8), 1 MB (1M*8) and 4 MB (4M*8). I believe that 4x8MB means that it uses 4 MB SIMMs, so you need to add another four of them to max out the memory of the sampler (just like on most PCs from that time). Also 100ns was probably the minimum spec; you can use faster modules (e.g.: 70ns), which should be easier to find. I'm not sure if Fry's would carry something like that; if they don't then you can certainly find it online, or at those places that recycle computer junk, where you can buy them in lots and then sort out which ones work. :) |_ |\/|
