Archive of the former Yahoo!Groups mailing list: Korg Poly800/EX800 Users

hey everybody,

i've spotted a korg mex-800 memory expander up for auction. i'd
never heard of these things before - but looking at this one, i
assume it works via sysex. the only confusing thing is that the
seller suggests in the auction listing that it will work with a poly-
800 mk1... just wanted to check - is this misleading info, or is
there something going on that i'm not aware of? i know mk2s have
sysex capability, but not mk1s - unless there was some kind of device-
specific compatibility programmed in..?

any help would be appreciated.
