Korg Poly800/EX800 Users

Hi

I did this mod and it's not that difficult.  I prefer not to soldered
all the pin of the IC chip, as mention in the article.  I found that
the chip sit well in place even if I don't soldered it.  I think it's
not a bad idea because soldered a chip is a bit risky.  I bought the
chip at Ebay for less than $10  and the seller even burn the chip for
me.  I just send the files to the seller and voilà.  I think it worth
the trouble because load your patches via the cassette thing is a real
pain.

Thank you and good luck
