I can't tell you anything about it from my own experience but I will
copy and paste some stuff from an ebay seller's description which
tells quite a bit. I do know that they exist and I used to see them
advertising the upgrade in Keyboard Magazine back in the 80's. The
Angel City place was/is somewhere in Pennsylvania but I don't know
whether they are still in business. I think I can find some of those
old 80's mags around here somewhere....anyhow......here is some of
what the seller has to say..............
∗∗PLUS THIS UNIT HAS THE ANGEL CITY TURBO UPGRADE!∗∗
The Turbo upgrade gives you
11 NEW parameters to mold your sound!
32 NEW sounds!
split points on the keyboard for Volume, Sounds, Midi channels,
Layering! You can use one end of the keys for internal sounds and
the other end to trigger an external module! How cool! I have spent
soooo many hours playing with these new parameters! And easy too!
THIS UNIT COMES WITH
Korg DW8000-Manual (missing cover), the power cable, and a like NEW
ROK SAK gig bag that I had bought for a Korg M1, also the PATCH
sheet that I created on Microsoft EXELL to keep track of your
patches. The internal battery is a continous recharger from the
factory but the battery for the turbo upgrade is not, BUT it has a
brand new battery in it I changed 2 months ago, I will leave the
patches I created in the unit, I do not have the factory original
back up tape , but you can get it off the net, but why?! This unit
is too easy to program!

Me here again...this unit was kind of overpriced and went with no
bids but it gives a lot of details.
