Slightly OT: Anyone want to swap CEMs for SSMs?

[Rob]

hmm, maybe ripe time to start making SMD replacement modules for these
units...
If I only knew EXACTLY what the heck is in these suckers, I could prlly make
it small enough to be just ever so slightly larger than the actual CEM
chip..
Anybody know whats on the die?
