Analogue-sequencer

Hello there. I have a P3 with a dead screen. I have a spare, and also a memory
board for it. It's still running software version 3.xx. I know that version 4
software is needed to make use of the memory board. I am not confident that I
can install either screen or board so I am intending to employ someone to do the
screen, which means sending the P3 away.

It would seem sensible to send the memory board as well and ask for that to be
fitted at the same time. BUT...as the screen doesn't work I can't upgrade the
software. Obviously if the P3 came back to me with the new screen I could then
upgrade the software.

So really the question is this:- while having a memory board fitted whilst
running v.3 would mean that the extra memory could not be utilised, could it
also cause problems with normal operation which would mean me being unable to
upgrade to v.4? Also, would the memory board work properly if I did it that way
round or does it HAVE to be done in the "correct" order, i.e. upgrading to
version 4 THEN , installing the memory board.

My final question is this:- is this still the best place to get Sequentix
advice? It seems a little slow, but the facebook group doesn't seem all that
busy either! Everyone too busy makg music, probably!

Thanks Very much.
