Shoot.

Not really - if you're the least skilled in soldering. You can always
destroy an IC but normally there shouldn't be any problem.

Nope, sold expensive here and there. Let me know if you need copies of
mine... ;)

> 3. What voltage is needed to supply the card

+/- 15 I think, but I have to double check that...

0,1-1,5 (same as above), 1-7 (approx) if using the sequencer input
sockets...

> thanks... ill keep you updated on the project

Yes, please do!
