Hi
I did this mod and it's not that difficult. I prefer not to soldered
all the pin of the IC chip, as mention in the article. I found that
the chip sit well in place even if I don't soldered it. I think it's
not a bad idea because soldered a chip is a bit risky. I bought the
chip at Ebay for less than $10 and the seller even burn the chip for
me. I just send the files to the seller and voilà. I think it worth
the trouble because load your patches via the cassette thing is a real
pain.
Thank you and good luck
