Re: [k5synth] K5M - need IC26 EPROM file

2016-05-30 by Antoine DeschĂȘnes

Hi,

I could dump from a K5 eventually. My K5 as well as the EEPROM reader are quite far from my new place right now, so I can't do it very soon. I guess if the sticker on the EEPROM matches between the two synths, it should work just as well. You could try getting the ROM file from Kawai US or Kawai UK, they usually give them by email but they don'T have all of them.

Cheers,
Antoine

I am working to fix a K5M modular synth, which for some strange reason had both EPROMs corrupted (IC29 and IC26).

I already made a replacement for IC29: sourced a 27C512 chip and burned it with the K5M v1.2 system software.

However, I cannot find the 32kb file to program the IC26 27C256 chip anywhere.

Does anyone have the file for that chip? Or, maybe someone with a EEPROM reader and a working K5M can make a ROM dump for me?

Thanks in advance!
