They might not always be available everywhere, but there will always be someone selling them. Look at the zip memory for the jamman, that was never even a standard computer product and you can still buy those. There's always used and surplus dealers, too. >Does Oberheim still use the old Simms - and isn't it possible to change >the >hardware to use the new ones? It would require a new PCB design, which would be too expensive for a relatively low-volume product like that. I wouldn't expect such a thing. kim ______________________________________________________________________ Kim Flint | Looper's Delight kflint@annihilist.com | http://www.annihilist.com/loop/loop.html http://www.annihilist.com/ | Loopers-Delight-request@annihilist.com
