[A6] Re: A6 in trash

[j_carroll at connectfree.co.uk]

Unfortunately the boot Eprom is missing..I contacted Alesis UK but they didn't seem to be aware that the A6 had such a thing and Alesis US won't ship to the UK. This is why I was kind of hoping someone might have a spare one...

As a thought, could I download the boot sequence code and burn it on to a standard EPROM...anyone know about this stuff??? I've got access to folks with EPROM burners...

Cheers,

Jem.
