[sdiy] Casio RZ-1 Mods?

[Joe Kramer]

Dear David,
    Your explanation is clear and correct, but the problem lies in the fact that
the RZ-1 connector for this function is an 8-pin din.  I don't know what the
other end of the original connector was supposed to look like, but at this point
it's a matter of learning which pin does what and building out from there.

Regards,
Joe Kramer
