To me the cool and fat sounds are better than the D-50, D-70 can offer even. CHECK EM OUT! ; ) What DPM EPROMS ARE AVAILABLE CURRENTLY?

Directly affecting performance, stability and even "booting up". A simple thing to try involves first that you pull the chips. (Warning watch how it is seated, inserting it backwards, will damage the chip!) Take a clean pencil eraser and clean the IC pins. Reinsert the chips in the proper orientation/position. Acid damage from a corroded battery can have damage you can see. But this is one thing to try. BATTERY CORROSION AFFECTING SOFTWARE ROMS?
