to refresh this theme, IT CAN BE DONE, and thers 2 ways of doing this, in first, easyer, u can have 64mb of ram.... and in second, harder and expensier it can be upgraded till 96mb ram...

Is there an OS upgrade with it?

no, actualy, first way is to find some specific edo ram modules, 2 x 32mb, ill write full specification and get pictures this week, that is the easyest and cheepest way, 2 edo ram modules cost less than 10euros....

and second way is to do some repairs on motherboard, and to put modules on those 2 free EXP places... in this way u can have 96mb ram... 2x 16 standard, and plus 2x 32mb... =96mb...

only thing is that pa1x o.s. dont "see" those bytes, but when u load samples, u can load two or even three sets....

ill get u more details just to finish some gigs this weekend... greetings!

Interesting... even 64 meg would be amazing... have you actually done this 2 x32 meg modification to your own PA1X Pro?
