RE: Yamaha Tech Support (or not)
Yam being a bit more helpful now that I've figured out who the guv is there.
I've bought an 8424 (latest cdrw) and, contrary to Yam's advice, it seems to work perfectly! Wierd!
Unfortunately the 128mb of ram I bought doesn't work - I get a "Simm error!" at startup. If I'm spot-on with the timing of secret button-pushes I can bypass this and get normal use except that only half the ram is recognised. So I bought some more from a different dealer/different manufacturer. No error message this time but only a quarter is recognised!
Both lots are to the spec given to me by Yam tech help and as per the manual. Some compatibility huh!
I finally got a result out of Yam when they told me there is a recommended supplier/manufacturer and that I should have been told that by me retailer and by their tech help (not!). So I've ordered some of that (bloody expensive). I'll report back when I get it.
Don't buy ram without checking with me first! Don't trust Yam help either unless you're speaking to the right person!
