    Can anyone tell me: can I simply replace the batteries of my K2500 keyboard
    without loss of the internal ROM?
    (answer may also be posted in Dutch...)

    ROM is never erased by loss of power/battery. Neither is flash
    memory.

    PRAM is, however.

    If you change the batteries quickly, you shouldn't lose your PRAM.

    But just to be safe, I recommend saving memory to disk, just in case.
    This way, you can restore it if it gets lost. Even with the PRAM
    upgrade, the memory (1.25M) should fit on a single floppy disk.

    In my case, it was no big deal, because I have my entire system state
    (PRAM and sample memory) saved to a Zip disk. So a loss of PRAM while
    changing batteries really doesn't matter to me.
