Hi!

Same chassi, very similar (but not equal) electronics.

The PROZ-board, CPU-board and most of the I/O guck on the motherboard fits
nicely into a cheap FPGA today. The analog part is what eats space, but it
would all go into a neat little board stuck in under the KBD at almost no extra
space at all. Massive amounts of metal can be tossed in the rework, and the
old PCBs too.

Well, that is indeed possible. ;O)
