Good question and I don't really have any decent answer. I just get a 
bad feeling looking at the way those Korgs are built. I'm sure they're 
fine. Indeed they test out fine with my insulation checker so deserve 
the class II rating. But I tend to feel happier when I've earthed it 
properly with a 3-pin IEC and a decent earth bond.

Interestingly a lot of the Roland stuff from that same era is also class 
II for the old 220V regions of Europe. But most of their UK 240V gear is 
earthed and is class I.
