I'm no tech, but as long as they use the same voltage to power it and 
feed it information on the correct pins I guess it could work. On the 
other hand, the DX-cartridges aren't for free and you might well burn 
them unless you do your homework with a volt meter or similar first. 
(Compare the prom-problems for Simmons and the EPB.)

On a related matter: The Roland memory cards are supposed to work in the 
Akai VX-600 but in my search for a decently priced Roland card I ran 
into the Akai original one so I never bothered to test the theory. You 
might just end up finding an original cartridge if you're lucky. :D
