What sort of a storage card should I buy for my Fantom-X?
The Fantom-X series has a type II PCMCIA slot to accept memory cards. Whilst you can buy PCMCIA memory cards, they are both very rare and very expensive. The recommended solution is to buy a “PCMCIA to Compact Flash” adaptor plus a Compact Flash memory card of suitable size. Roland officially guarantees memory cards up to 1 GB to work with the Fantom, however, up to 2.2 GB Compact Flash form factor Microdrives are reported to work well. The following adaptor and Compact Flash cards are known to work: • Kingston CF memory card and adaptor: http://www.kingston.com/digitalmedia/cf_standard.asp • Viking CF memory card: http://www.vikinginterworks.com/products/compact.asp • PNY CF memory card: http://www.pny.com/products/flash/compactflash.
