i don't think they aren't pcmcia standard-same size-ish but proprietary format,Mr Arkadin wrote:How about some explanation with that link. Are you saying there's a card there equivalent to the Roland M-series and if so which one and do you know for definite that they're compatible?
with a thin sliding metal guard with two tiny springs, revealing gold plated contacts.
PCMCIA uses a socket with 2(or 1?there are different types) rows of holes to accept
incoming pins.
there were at least 2 clones manufactured, i can't remember the names:? Crystal?
and the other one i have the? MAArtist, that's it, grey with pink/red lines text,
something like that, never seen another one.
sinc elast year, it's a ridiculous 60 odd eu!! i won a bid for 2 and they disappeared
in the post, never turned up, so i managed to get another pair for the same price,
30eu each, expensive for a few kilobytes.
unfortuntely the m256 and 256e are used by quite a few devices, from the d-series
onwards -there are plenty around if you wait, but you should be able to get them
for 30eu/30usd if you wait.
wonder if an adapter could be made? i have chopped D20 in a weird rack box, so
i've had a good look at the card input side-maybe m256/128/512 to SD adapter?
hack an existing adapter and somehow make the contacts. you don't need the
guard(it just protects the contacts)-that way you could just get one m256, chop
it up and use it as an adpater for little SD -probably wouldn't work without some
wizardry.
