	Uhu! Cheap one ;o) In Brazil they cost around $100-120

	Interesting is that I have a MK1 and HAVE a battery. Of course, this 
seems to be a third-party mod. But I read in the net that ALL the 
Poly 800 can have a battery fitted (and, btw, it SHOULD have a 
battery fitted ;o)))

	Is it so expensive in USA this way? ;o)))

	I'm planing in doing the same, or waiting for another Poly 800 to 
screw up. This seems to be a VERY nice synth to hack. I can already 
put more memory banks on it, and I think I can hack the firmware to 
select more memory banks on the keyboard. Dunno if it will ever be of 
any use.
