Re: Can you make an XL7 into an MP7?

I ordered the Ensoniq Project ROM on blind faith after havign owned 
the MR Rack with the world ROM some years ago. I never thought about 
the fact that each of the Ensoniq ROM's had 24 Meg while the Emu ROM 
only has 32 available for the both of them. I also gave up on trying 
to get the MP-7 version of the Mo Phatt ROM and ordered the Pure 
Phatt. After a week they have not shipped and the Pure Phatt is now 
out of stock. I am considering canceling the Pure Phat and getting 
the Protozoa and Definitive B3 ROM's instead.
