MEMORY UPGRADES S950
If any reader has installed DMC-03 chips to their AKAI S950 I'm curious to the ease of installation (can someone with no skill in this area follow the manual and install themselves)?

memory upgrades are real easy to instal you lift the bottom panel on the bottom and they fit in. one of the easiest things to do on the 950. _________________

Yo Phase have you managed to install the upgrade chips into
your s950 yet, and is it as easy as D says it is...

I would def not pay anyone do install that shit cause it will take them 10 min and charge You for 1 hour worth of work. And it is as easy as D says it is. _________________

I just fully upgraded the memory on my new baby, I'm very happy ^_^
Got two expansion boards from Rouge Music off eBay.
I'm not a very technical person, and it couldn't have been easier.
I actually found it easier than installing RAM in a PC.
My only concern is I didn't have one of those little nuts to hold the memory board in place, and that it could become loose and fall out.
Apart from that, its all good! ^__^

I was going to order it from Ramona but the sites under construction:
According to Syntaur: "The MPC60 and MPC60II and the S950 can only be expanded by installing a 750k RAM expansion board (Syntaur does not carry this item). " So maybe you can look for MPC60 750k RAM (I'M NOT POSITIVE, i'm sure Dface could help).
hit up Forat or try eBay.
Post if you find any other spots. Thanks!

oh shit how do you know how much memory is installed? i suspect its maxed out... a piece inside had fallen out during transportation and i pushed it back in and now i can sample about 30 secs at 19 k.. does that sound right for a maxed out ?
