Hi lol101,

 to my knowledge (I have prototyped some RAM5 clones with SRAM) an ADP1 clone dosn't make any sense, if you want to connect a RAM1 cartridge via ADP1 to DX7 Mk2. 

 The reason is you can't write to the RAM1 cart, you can only read it. The RAM1 works with Eeprom (those have a very slow write cycle) in opposite to RAM4 that uses SRAM (fast writes). Another challenge might be to source a fitting slot connector. 

 Best,
 clem!
