To dump the ROM I'll have to desolder it first. I am prepared to do this,
however, as it will allow me to install an SFG-05 ROM (burnt onto an
EPROM) into the SFG-01, and see whether the disk and MIDI functionality is
there. There is a chance this won't work, as the SFG-01 and SFG-05 have
different FM chips.

Well it shouldn't be necessary to do this. If you have a diskdrive, you
should be able to use:

If you don't have a diskdrive -- you can borrow mine sometime if you want. :)

I've just desoldered the SFG-01 ROM. Once I've found a 28 pin turned pin
DIL socket I can straighten out its pins, solder on a few that I broke off
|-) and dump the ROM. At the moment I am unsure about the mapping of the
ROM, but it's possible the YM2148 MIDI chip overlays part of the ROM as it
is memory mapped at the top of bank 0, slot 3.

Is the SFG-05 ROM ready yet?

Yamaha CX5M

2000-12-17 Thread Richard Atkinson

Does anyone know the ports used by the FM sound synthesizer SFG-01 in the
Yamaha CX5M computer? There should be two ports for the YM2151 OPM chip
and more for the YM2148 MIDI and keyboard interface. I haven't found any
documentation on the YM2148 at all, although I have the YM2151 datasheet.

And Sean, I could dump SFG-05 ROMs  -  after I have dumped EC-7xx stuff
:-)

Yamaha CX5M Music Computer Question

2000-11-06 Thread Laurens Holst

A big Hello to the MSX-Community !

(this message was written by Oskar Erdödy on the msx.org forum)

I have an old Yamaha CX5M Music Computer with Sound Module SFG-01.
I`m searching for possibilities of transfering my YRM-Module-composed
files into the PC (for an emulator), and TO PLAY them there (with an
emulation of the sound module or a software-connection to some
soft-sythesizer). I have a mass of old composings for the
Yamaha-YRM-101-Composer, which was step-by-step, and want to recycle
them.
I didn`t find an YRM-101-Catridge file on the net. Can I transfer the
Cartridge
to an emulator ?
Is there a possibility to connect the SFG-01 with a PC ? Or any other
way...

Can anybody give a comment or help me ?

Oskar

yamaha CX5M II 128 MSX music computer

Can someone help this guy ?

From: WARREN SEAN FITZGERALD [EMAIL PROTECTED]

Dear Mr. Bittencourt:
I own a Yamaha CX5M II 128 MSX music computer. The
power
supply needs to be replaced. I also have another similar machine, an
earlier
model, with a good power supply and a bad keyboard. I would like to
switch
power supplies, but I cannot find support for these machines any where
in
the United States. These computers are very unique--a Music Macro
Language
and a selfcontained DX=ll sound module/MIDI interface. I don't think
Yamaha
supports this machine anymore, at least not in the U.S.A..
I would greatly appreciate any help or contacts you could provide.
My
addres is: Warren FitzGerald, 4314 Walnut Street, Philadelphia,
Pennsylvania, 19104, U.S.A.. Email: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
