Re: [CZsynth] Re: RA-100 RAM card - will it work in VZ?

2012-04-06 by analogfreak2005

Hi!

I am  dissatisfied with my Hohner RC-1 ram card, witch I bought assuming it will work 

with my VZ-1, but I was wrong. (Hohner took over some Casio tech on the late 80's,
and it have same format as RA-500... )

I tried to find some info on internet but there is none. So, it must be an alternative to RA-100!??
Well James, if you know something about it, or if you will take a chance on RC-1, I will be happy to sell it to someone 

who can use it!!
Regards!!
Alen

I'd just like to say that if anyone is with their RA100 after
finding an RA500, I'd be happy to buy the RA100 for use with my HT6000. :D
