Subject: Re: [PolySix] Please help on MIDI Retrofit Kit P6-MRK made by Korg USA in 1986

I'm pretty sure this is the kit I installed into my machine. Here's all the
information I have for the P6 and that kit. Good luck. The file called
Polysix_M_Schematic is probably your best starting point to figuring out
what you need to do.

I think mine was the first retrofit kit ever made for the Polysix by Korg USA in 1986, and your docs looks like they are from 1999.
