David, just curious, what's the problem with the MIDIboard? I have a V3 MIDIboard that went haywire. After a short warm up the display "strobes" and the instrument spews out MIDI data commensurate with the strobing. It's got the short logic board with daughter card. I tried reseating chips and ribbon connectors. Maybe one of the EEPROM's has failed.
I bought a V2 MIDIboard a few weeks ago. It works great, and I can't tell any difference between the two. I never used the arpeggiator on the V3 anyway. And this V2 revision supports sysex. Neither board has the Suzuki action, so don't know what I'm missing there. I had thought about upgrading the V2 with the V3's EEPROM's, but everything is working so I kinda don't want to mess with it.
Hope you get yours working.
