[sdiy] Those darned Yamaha chips!

[Ken Stone]

I find Yamaha increadibly un-cooperative. They won't even sell you a circuit
diagram to an 80s organ, unless you are a registered yamaha tech. They
instead recommend you contact one of these techs for repair. Bleagh. As if
I'm going to pay hundress of dollars to repair a $70 organ.
