Hi dear SP-Forums people

Hello SP-Friends:)

Hello dear friends:)

A CF>SD adapter is alvailable from a german manufacturer like "Delock" here is the link m

I know they could be ordered by a Swedish retailer called m and the intem number is "61590" (delock partnumber)

It should work fine with gear that have a CF slot

Sounds both interesting and shocking at the same time...i had not suspect Roland to listen, but i am truly sad that they fired the guy from Roland..

Happy new year to you
