I COULDN'T FIGURE OUT HOW TO CHANGE THE KEYWORDS ON 2406 AND I WANTED PEOPLE TO KNOW THE PRICE AT A GLANCE. HOPE IT HELPS!

Now this sounds interesting.. I wonder what the calc would do with it?
Assuming that it worked or you could make it work with a replacement of
the low voltage protector, I wonder what would happen when you
tried to put in another card. Would the calc just freak out trying
to address more than 512K.. I wonder if you could use it as a fairly
huge diskdrive and keep all your backups on it... Hell, you could back up
the calc twice on it. At this point, I realize the dangers and all but
I would like to know if anybody knows anything about these cards..
Are these the same EPSON cards but with an extra 128K chip...

Bill, Take another look. If this is the same card that was being discussed in Portfolio circles awhile back it is 256k BITS not BYTES... (Wow, a Portfolio owner actually contributing to the 48SX disscussion thread!!! ASTOUNDING!!!) (No I don't own a HP...) On this thorny subject. If everybody just adopted a standard entry of say: HP48 or some such I could quite easily search for this and junk the entry if I wanted... Of course that must be too simple. Cheers, BB

The 256K RAM cards that you can find for synthesizers are 256K _bits_, which is 32K bytes. The RAM cards that HP, Atari, etc., sell for their machines are rated in bytes, so the Korg 256K bit card is the same as the Atari 32K byte card (for example).

As I recall, korg ram card are rated in bits. Hence, the 256kbit card
is a 32Kbyte card.
