Hello All!!!

I recently purchased one of these weapons Cool

. I would like to purchase a PCMCIA memory card.

The manual states that the card must be a 'Type 1' SRAM with 256k - 2M of memory. These cards are about 15 years old and fucking rare!!!

Does anyone know weather a type 2 card can be used with the A6? this card would be alot easier to source!! Very Happy

Or if any of u crazy andro frinkaheadrons have any better ideas.... i'd love to hear them!!!

Thank you muchly Laughing

I found the cards at thomann:

Although Envoy Data doesn't make any claims about Andromeda compatibility, these cards should be the same. Maybe someone would like to check one out to be sure:

I recently went thru all this while trying to find a flash card for
my QS6, and found a good deal on QS6 cards at Envoy Data.

I purchased Pretec brand 2MB Type1 SRAM (non-attribute) RAM cards for my A6 from Amtron Technology, Inc. Amtron is in California USA; I suspect they might be willing to ship internationally, but did not ask. Their part number is SN5002. Cards are new, and under warranty. The price was $119.95 plus shipping. It is also possible to reach these guys by phone, and they are helpful (I got an excellent english speaker when I asked for Tech Support). Links follow.

*Note* I contacted Alesis Tech Support and verified via email and follow-up phone call that the A6 uses "NON-ATTRIBUTE" cards. Attribute RAM is a small (about 8k, I think) portion of the card which the host device uses to identify the capacity of the RAM. Again, buy the cards which *do not have* this "attribute RAM", even though the vendor may tell you the opposite. They just sell the PCMCIA Cards, and do not know any specifics about the A6.

Or you could buy mine which work perfectly for half the price from the above ebay link... Smile
