PCMCIA SRAM card for Nord Rack 2

Postby cm_reds » 02 Apr 2019, 08:54

Help please? I know I'm late to this party, but I've been searching through old threads here and can't find the answer I'm looking for. I got myself a Nord Rack 2 and would love a PCMCIA card for it. Old messages point me to http://www.amtron.com/sram.htm
I've messaged them, but they say that their older cards had dual 8-bit and 16-bit support, but they now only have 8-bit data transfer only or 16-bit data transfer only and they have not had any confirmation as to which would work for me. Does anyone know if either of those options would work? The price (around $50) is a little steep to take a gamble on.
I'd really appreciate any information/help/encouragement.
Thanks!

Have you sent an email to Nord asking which type of card the synth expects?

No luck yet from Nord, but a friend may have come through in finding an old card. I get to test it tomorrow!

And it works! So excited. Wish I had a newer model and could share files, but I'll have to settle for figuring it out by turning knobs and pushing buttons. At least I can save my work now. Think I have "Won't Get Fooled Again" figured out. Look forward to many more... :)

You can dump sysex to and from a computer and share files that way. I use SysEx Librarian for Mac but there are others for windows too.
