Having problems with message search?
Hi,
I searched around on the web for a good 20 minutes and couldn't find anything on that particular memory cartridge. I thought EVERYTHING was on the web?! heheh.. ;-)
Anyway, going the easy route - have you turned off the cartridge memory protect function on the DX7's front panel? Maybe this is why you are not able to format the cartridge. Other than that, perhaps the cartridge battery has died.

Subject: [FMSynthesis] DX7 Red Planet expansion memory
Hi, I recently won on eBay a second hand expansion memory for the DX7 mkI called "SR 320" and produced by Red Planet (Canada-1986). This expansion memory must be inserted in the cartridge slot and gives access to 10 banks of 32 patches each. You have two buttons on it with a green led for the left one (which can be switched on or off when you click on it) and a red led for the right one (which is permanently switched on). There are three arrows drawn under each buttons indicating the left direction for the left button and the right direction for the right button. There are two other indications printed on it and likely related to this famous buttons: a green round with an equal sign and a key and a red round with an equal sign and something with seem to represent a port or a slot. I receive it without manual and when I insert it on my DX7 cartridge slot I have a "FORMAT CONFLICT!" message. When I try to format it I have a "MEMORY PROTECTED" message. Now I have several questions: does someone here know this expansion memory? Does someone here have an idea about how to use it? Any help would be appreciated! Sincerely, Marc Yahoo!
