Kawai Synthesizers

To any one who knows? I have a K1 synth and I'm a devoted fan,I 
haven't had it for very long but plan to keep it until it breaks. my 
questions are #1: If I try to save a patch I have created, will I 
erase another patch in side the keyboards memory or should I get a 
card.
#2:Where can I fined cards for the K1.
#3:Where can I fined the battery for the internal memory backup.
(part number)
#4:If I change the battery will the memory be wiped clean or is it safe
to change it?
If some one could fill me in, and if any one can it would be you guys.
Thanks it would be a big help.... Chris.

Ebay worked for me. You need a Kawai DC-8 RAM card.

Almost anywhere. I believe you'll be looking for a standard 3.6v
lithium ion battery. Still, you had best check inside your kawaii to
be sure first.

I would do a global SysEx dump, just to be safe. 


Good Luck,
