Oberheim OB-Sx EPROM Data

Oberheim OB-Sx EPROM Data

2014-03-20 by Patrick Edwards

Anybody have a working OB-Sx and an eprom burner who is willing to copy and send the data to me? My Sx freezes with the first four patch LEDs lit when it is switched on. No sound and no response otherwise. Tracing the data lines it seems that the OS rom isn't outputting correctly, but then again those lines go elsewhere too so it may well be somewhere else. I would just like to be sure I have good data in the roms. The Z80 is new, as well as all the 4051/3 cmos. +12, +/-15, +/-5, 5.6 and -10 supplies are correct.

Thanks to whoever has the data/eproms or has had a similar problem with an OB-X or Sx.
