[sdiy] Ensoniq kb eprom

Hello,

I have an old EPS16+ keyboard (the 16bit version of the EPS) with a missing 
eprom. This eprom belongs to the controller board wich is a small pcb located 
under the keyboard (it makes the junction between the kb and the main board)

I found that this controlled board is the same than the SQ80:

The eprom in question is U2, wich is 27c256 model.

I asked on a mailing list of sq80 users, and probably it is the same board 
fitted in several ensoniq keyboards due the poly aftertouch patent. 
Fortunatly there is a binary of this eprom on the sq80 site. So i could burn 
this file and makes a try on my EPS16+.

I would like to ask here if someone, by chance, has any knowledge about this 
issue, are all the ensoniq keyboards of this time similar, and in case it 
wouldn't work, does someone have an EPS16+ that would be able to dump the 
eprom in question. I would be very happy to paypal the person for this 
service. 

Thx,

Linium
