This is a serious question. Please don't laugh -- at least until you've finished reading this. There's been a lot of talk lately about fitting non-HP RAM cards into the 48. (Sometimes it works, sometimes it doesn't...) Well, I've got a couple of RAM cards, and a Yamaha synthesizer upstairs, and I was wondering if anyone has tried using an HP-48 RAM card in a non-HP machine? Kind of the reverse of what everyone else has been talking about? I know, I know it sounds stupid, but hey, if you've got a spare... Has anybody tried it? Any non-obvious reasons why it wouldn't work? Regards Ray Depew HP ICBD -- IC's By Decree rrd@hpfitst1.hp.com

Hi, Ray! I don't have a clue about any special electrical specs of the Yamaha, but I can't imagine anything that would cause it not to work just fine with the HP card. You could see how different HP48 programs sound on the Yamaha :) ..... The only difference between HP and Epson cards is the slightly lower cutoff-and-clamp voltage threshold of the HP cards. I don't the Yamaha could possibly care. Steve

Hi Steve! Good to hear from you! Thanks for your words on the HP/Yamaha RAM card. I'll post here when I try it, and tell you how it worked. -- Ray "Pardon me, have you any Grey Poupon RAM cards?" "But of course!"
