Ed,
As for the selector: I forget how to do it. I repaired one for someone back
in '03. I'd have to take mine apart to rediscover how to do it. At this
time I'm slowly moving back to NYC and my stuff is scattered. My three SDS-7s
(two currently in operation) and half of my tools are in NJ and my
selector pad is in NY with the rest of my tools. I can revisit this post and offer
a hack tutorial or repair it for you if you want to send it.
Thanks for clarifying regarding the multi-EPROM cards.

How do you go about getting to the grid lines? Is there an easy way to
remove the pad surface from the case without destroying it? Please advise.
You are correct: a standard module fitted with a 2085 daughter card can
hold 4 eproms which are selectable via the 'Resonance' control. The downside
is you lose 'Resonance' programmability.

There is also the Dual Sample Module which holds 2 eproms that are dynamic
dependent. Meaning, you program a threshold where the module switches from
eprom 1 to eprom 2. The downside is you lose the analog section.
