Hi everybody,
Back from work ;-)
Thank you all for your comment, sure? it'll help me to improve my design !
@Ramiro & Daniel
I join to this message the list of the SYSEX I've included in my .BIN...Some are well known ( it begins with the 4 ROM banks supplied by Yamaha ), and other are pretty exotic, their name will tell you not much ( remember I picked the up randomly...).
This list was created by my now-enhanced Python script which automatically build the .txt file as and when you add a SYSEX to the whole .bin file.
As Daniel said, you can tell or send me the SYSEXes you want to be included in the EPROM and I'll burn them.
@Jonas
Thank you for your encouragement !
I'm still looking for the right way to make the card available on OSH Park...they talk about "shared projects", I guess it's related ;-)...
As previously said, the shipping costs could be veeeeery expensive, so, due to them, I don't know for now how to keep the cost of a complete card in reasonable proportions. I guess a bare PCB could be sent as a letter and not a parcel, the price would be cheaper...
@helfried2de
sorry, someone said here the cartridge connector is not quite the same as the mk1 DX7's...I don't own a DX7II, so I can't build and test a dedicated design...
@Grant & Jojol
Of course an enclosure would be a top ! The Yamaha cartridge enclosure is too small....a C64 cartridge can be the right choice !
I'm not very skilled in 3D modelling, I'll leave the enclosure question to someone else ;-)...
@aero
sorry, I didn't mean in no way to interfere with your work ! And as Daniel told you, yours is a RAM card, not the same destination as mine...
Chris.
