Re: [Ensoniq-VFX-SD] Ensoniq VFX eProm binary files version 2.3

2013-01-21 by Simon Rodwell

I guess it would depend how you dump the data.  The files that I would need would probably have a *.bin extension on them.  My understanding is that an eProm reader /burner is the standard way to extract these files from ic chips once they have been withdrawn from the keyboard itself.  But you may well know something I don't about this anyway - so if you have time please have a go if the chips are 2.3 version.  I don't think the resulting binary files are terribly large anyway.  Route 66 who sold me the chips in the first place must surely have these files.

Thanks very much for your interest and help anyway

Not that I'm exactly promising this, but I could probably look into 
dumping these from my VFX if the chips are of some standard type (like 
27c256 on the cartridges).

It's not just the harddrive backups that come handy every now and then ;)
