Re: Damaged S1000

Ooh Man!
I'm so Stupid. You're Right, i have must Think at it.
The previsous Owner had say, it was 10Meg, and then it Displays only 5 Meg. I Think, he have forgot to attach his Eyeglasses and tell me what about a Horse. ;-)
So it's good to know, that the Memory are right detected.
But the Error with the Sounds?
I found this Site http://www.transanalog.com/ and ask for an Service Manual. Now wait for Answer.
A other Thing, i found the Eproms Labeled with S1100 V2.2 in LSB Socket, and S1000 V2.2 in the MSB. Is this a Problem?
But the S1000 Start's right and seem to Work correct, except the Sound Problem.
