I have a DW-8000 and can say for sure that on my unit those chips are not socketed.
Maybe on some units they were.

It was long ago i opened

both.

On the Strellis web site, he mentions that the
waveform ROMs were not socketed
on his DW-6000, so I assume they are also not socketed on
the DW-8000. This makes
installing this kind of mod a much bigger deal than simply
unplugging chips and plugging
a cable into the socket or something. I wonder if people
would really be happy
with this mod long-term, since the expanded waveform
selection cannot be saved with
the patch, or controlled by MIDI. Also, there seem to be
lots more DW-8000's around than
DW-6000's, whereas the 6000 seems a better candidate for
the mod due to it's more limited
waveform selection.
