Hello my friend

Pa80 Flash card has a specific format which is only recognizable for the Korg Pa80 operating system; So, no other software can detect that and access to it's content.

If you want to make a backup from your locked flash card, First you need to equip your keyboard with a Hard disk. * You can use any Lap Top computer hard disk * ( See the pa80 Manual for installation method)

Then do this.

1- Put the locked card into the keyboard.
2- Go to the card backup menu. ( as you can see the "backup" is off)
3- Now pull the card out of keyboard and then put it in again.
(you'll see a point goes on, on the display)

4- In this point backup option is still "off" but try and push that button ( Backup) . If you have a hard disk installed, you'll see that backup process starts.

Have fun. Good luck

Yes Dykorg, the PCMCIA Card can be accessed on a computer with a special
software, i dont know the name and how to do it but i've seen it with my own
eyes, i never did it cuz i had no need to.
