Subject: Re: Poly-800 II Manual

Hi Narfman,
So, here you are!
I uploaded it to Rapidshare (thank you Marco Andreetta!). Perhaps not
the most convenient, but free and without registration, so I could do
it quickly.
Here's the download link:

http://rapidshare.com/files/24258106/Poly800II_manual.pdf.html

I personally own Poly 800 MkI and got the instruction for MkII at
some time only for comparison. Therefore I am not that familiar with
it. But there's definitely more on MIDI implementation inside it. I
hope it will help you though. And I wish you good luck with the
restoration of your Poly MkII.
Best regards
Marcin
