Hi, I've got an old Poly 800 Mk 1 from which I bought about 10 years ago. A long time ago I managed to connect it up to an Amiga via midi which totally wiped out all the sounds. Eventually with the advent of the internet I managed to get some sound banks downloaded and transferred them to minidisc in order to attempt to reload the sounds. Now, impatient as I am, I didn't bother to go and get a new correct power supply, just thought I'd use what I had around the house. I managed to find a 9V PSU from another keyboard. Didn't realise it was giving out 1A current though. A black cloud of smoke issued from my Poly 800. I realise it's probably beyond repair, and I've been in touch with another guy who has done the same thing and he reckons I'd need a new board which you can no longer get hold of... Anyway, my question, and it's a long shot: Does anyone know of a way I can salvage this? I'd even just like to use it as a midi controller, bypassing the sound generation part of it. Has anyone out there got this sort of detailed knowledge to lend me a hand? Thanks in advance for any advice, no matter how small :) Rich
