The entire contents of the QuadraSynthÕs User memory (100 Mixes, 128 Programs,
128 Effects Patches) can be stored to an Alesis QuadraCard RAM card inserted into
the Sound Card slot on the QuadraSynth.  Depending on the amount of RAM a
particular card has, up to 8 complete banks can be stored onto it. The QuadraCard is
a type of PCMCIA SRAM card;  it has 256K of memory and will store 4 complete
banks.  A 512K PCMCIA card can store 8 banks. When saving data to a card that
contains a ROM (READ-ONLY) bank, it will be in bank 1; this means you cannot
save anything into bank 1.
