Casio CZ/ VZ/ FZ - Pro Series

Your questions were already answered by Jon Furman, but here are some other
facts I picked up about the VZ-8M over on the EZ-VZ site, in case they are
of interest:

*  better stereo effects than the VZ-1 and VZ-10M -- apparently stereo
panning is unique to this unit
*  less polyphony per box than the VZ-10M, but unlike the VZ-10M, you can
chain a bunch of them together to get 64-voice polyphony
*  no graphic display?  unlike VZ-1 and VZ-10M, patch editing must be done
with a computer
*  the only VZ that can be used with the Casio guitar synth and wind synth,
I believe
*  you can actually edit sounds on the VZ-8M, save them to a RAM card, and
insert that card in the Casio guitar synth to get new sounds

Note, I don't have one myself.  Just gathered this much from research.

Thanks to the recommendations of the group a while back I picked up a VZ-8M
for $99 on Ebay.  [...] What is the patch compatibility of this device?  I
would guess that it's fully compatible with VZ-1 and VZ-10M patches/sysex.
How about the CZ patch compatibility?
