Hi

Might I suggest a sticky post with pointers to OASYS spares/parts; such as Internal Hard disks, RAM, Fans, Motherboard etc?

Given the age of OASYS, and aging of those parts in particular, succinct references to such parts might be warranted?

Cheers,
Kevin.

I just bought a motherboard from off of ebay

How did you know which motherboard to buy - could you mention it here?

And - does anyone know what Hard Disk to buy?

Thanks,
Kevin.

Motherboard:
AOPEN MX4GVR

Hard Disk:
http://193.128.183.41/HOME/v3__product.asp?pid=345&L=en
Here you have more options, as you could clone your HD to any other hard disk (same capacity or bigger if you like) if it's Parallel ATA/100 or higher and same form factor (2.5")....or smaller by using a case adaptor...

Thanks very much for these pointers - much appreciated.

To the moderators - would you consider placing this useful information on a sticky post for future reference and so others could add other spare part availability to ?

Thanks,
Kevin.

Of course the part that is likely to give up first is the Fan -

hence, does anyone know what Fan the OASYS uses.

And - what about the CDRW drive - anybody know its spec?

Hi,
has anyone experience with this?
I use several Macs but also have access to Windows systems.
I am eager to see a repsonse
Using google I have found several ways to use all sorts of software but as the O uses special Linuxsoftware I am a bit affraid the cloning process will do "something"to the original drive which might cause troubles...
Regards!

freek & Kevin,

There was a previous thread where several members contributed their knowledge on parts including the cloning of the Hard drive. Martin Hines was one, and I think the other member's name was Edward and he was living in the middle east and had upgraded his hard drive by cloning another and had no problems.

I seem to recall that thread was about 3 or 4 months ago.

The hard drive is what worries me... I'm sure it's likelier to die way before the motherboard or anything else (well, maybe the fan).

I'd really really like to see Korg come out with a solid state retrofit option in a year or two, as the SSDs get cheaper. (ie you'd take it into an authorized Korg service center, and for $x they'd clone your existing drive & install it for you etc.)

I must have had a blind spot for the word cloning cloning cloning
Now that I have found the post I will give it a try.
