[sdiy] Poly 800 mods, no patch loading

[HapyBrian at netscape.net]

Howdy!

I just got a Korg Poly 800, and have noticed many ebay poly's that
have some mods done to them.  After a cursory search, I found the
"moog_slayer" mod.  Has anyone tried it?  It looks pretty slick.

I am also interested in doing the sysex mod, but I have no prom
burner, nor do I know what kind of eprom to use.  Has anyone tried
it?  I might be able to find a burner at the nearby college...

The reason I'm so interested in doing the sysex mod is I've had
ZERO luck getting patches to load.  I have 5 different copies of
the "original" poly sounds and have played them through my line-out
at many different volumes.  I made a cable with 1/8" stereo plug
and 1/8" mono plug, and also tried a straight 1/8" stereo to 1/8"
stereo cable too.  I remember doing this stuff with my APPLE ][ 20
years ago--it was never as finicky as this!  Do you guys have any
suggestions?

Thanks,
Brian Hoogerbrugge
