Re: [korgpolyex] Re: hawk-800 upgrade

No, the code is entirely written around the 80C85 CPU that was used in
the Poly-800.
It took me several years of part time hobby activity to get the Poly
done.  So although I would like to do a full rewrite of the DW8000 or
DW6000, there just isn't enough time for it.
Maybe one day I'll get a DW-8000 and have a look again. But my real aim
is to do a complete rebuild of the Poly-800 main board using modern CPU
like an STM32. But again, time isn't available for me to do that yet.
I just got the joystick replacement tested and working. So the next
thing I will be doing is the 1RU rack kit for the HAWK.

Move to quarantaine

This moves the raw source file on disk only. The archive index is not changed automatically, so you still need to run a manual refresh afterward.
