Sequential circuits samplers

Hi, in the KORG DSS-1 user group there�s a guy, Tom Virostek, who
recently announced that he has made a clone of the original expansion
kit for the DSS-1. It�s of 2 Mb RAM and SCSI. In a few months a 16 Mb
RAM version will be available. I�ve been in touch with him as I also
have a DSS-1 and asked if he will make anything like that for other
samplers too. And he will, maybe, if there�s enough demands. The kits
are quite expensive however.

P2000 users should�nt fall behind here. So, is there any interest in
such a kit, why not collect a list of interest from this group of and
post it to Tom?

Hello P2K users.

A Prophet 2000/2002 memory expansion will not be as expensive as the one I did for the 
DSS-1. The Prophet 2000 was designed to accept 3 additional banks of memory, so all 
that is needed is more DRAM chips. With today's technology, it could be done with three 
256k x 16 EDO DRAM's. The DSS-1 upgrade was not only memory but a custom designed 
memory controller, as well as a whole new main CPU board with SCSI controller as well, 
hence the high cost.

I'll post when and if an upgrade is ready.

Tom

Hi Tom. Not a single reply :/ ? YES, I´m on! and I guess I´m not the
only one. 

Just some EDO DRAM´s? that sounds very simple. But a SCSI would be
welcome ofcourse.

Cheers
