Re: VFX-SD Upgrade to SD-1

2006-02-13 by b1114p

It was a simple inquiry.  Sorry if you feel I'm wasting forum 
bandwidth or storage space...

You know that people shy away from purchasing a unit just because 
the battery needs to be replaced and it will garner less money for 
that simple reason (and simple job for those handy with such 
matters).  But, not everyone is technically inclined.  

Definitely most people aren't interested in upgrading a machine 
themselves if it means going under the hood to replace IC's... which 
for them means hiring a tech and waiting who knows how long for the 
work to be done.   MIDI flash-able units are one thing which an 
average users <i>might</i> approach - although some people won't go 
near that either.

So, if it's okay, I'd like my question about sound ROM's to stand.  
Perhaps the odds are slim, but maybe someone has a source...?
