|
|
Hi, so I was playing around with my PA 600 and noticed it's hard drive to be a 4GB one, but the partition size is 90mb.
So is there a way to increse the partition size?
Thanks. |

I don't know how you got this info, but Korg Pa600 is not like any PC you put bigger HHD or resize partition how you like it.
Korg Pa600 has initialized partition of exactly 1,190,244,352 bytes (1,10GB) with FAT32 system file as storage, anything else, any extra space, partitions is more likely need it for normal, healthy operating system.

I don't know where you got that info from but you can't resize any partition of the 8 in total as this would destroy the filesystem structure and as a result make the pa unable to boot.In any csse , there is no way available from the menu to do something like that so it isn't possible.. |

I've read on a foreign forum that the SSD has 4GB and you can use some memory from the SSD to increase the RAM (even tho there is no actual RAM, but a partition from the SSD so my question is how do I increase the partition size which is used as RAM)?
Thanks. |

whoever wrote that there is no ram knows nothing about embedded systems at all...
Pa600 and pa300 have a ram IC 512mb which is divided for the system requirements as :128 mb for system, os ,etc, 96 for user ram(32 for user and 32 for localized on pa300), 256 for factory sounds and the rest for the effects. You can't upgrade the ram except you change the ram IC on the motherboard to a bigger one and crack the OS (which is illegal as it it copyrighted) to make it see the extra ram...Will cost way more than buying yourself a new pa4x |

This is the NAND not the RAM!!
NAND IS 4gb and is splitted in 8 partitions (partition 4 is 0 bytes).
The NAND is actually eMMC and these chips are too slow to act like ram or anything like that.. |

lol.
I am stopping commenting, its clear that you have no knowledge on electronics and embedded systems...Just google the other IC next to the one you pointed out on the img you uploaded and you will find your answers... |
