compact flash adapter - Fantom-S and Fantom-X

6 in 1 flash PC card reader

I recently bought FAN-X-UP1 with PC card CF reader. It works fine.
6 in 1 flash PC card reader still dosn't work.
Probably it is not fully compatible with Fantom.

Hi Keyborg - if you have access to a laptop with a pcmcia slot try the card reader in it to test if the reader is still working.

Yes it still works in my laptop.

When it was working in Fantom it took a while to recognize even empty card. I suspect not all contacts of the PC card are connected to Roland. Floating potentials cause instable operation.

Best regards

In case your computer store doesn't recognize "PC Card Adaptor" from the Roland manual, the official part is:

PCMCIA Adapter for CompactFlash I/II

You can usually find them in the laptop accessories.

Greeting All.
Been reading here for a while and recently joined.
Just wanted to say thanks to lordelix for the link to the Panasonic adaptor.
I was about to go with the SanDisk CF adapter but the idea of the Panasonic made more sense.
Again thanks
