[sdiy] Casio RZ-1 Mods?

[Joe Kramer]

Dear Terry,
    Thanks for the tip.  I'll try both Casio and SAMS.  The reason I didn't try
Casio immediately is because I had tried to get a manual from them just a month ago
for a CK-500, an oddball keyboard with typical Casio organ tones, a rythym machine,
and two cassette decks on which you can do ping-pong recording--very cool!  Casio
were no help though.  (By the way, anybody with info on this machine let me know.)
Thanks again for the phone numbers and the help.

Regards,
Joe Kramer
