I have done (in another P2K-based E-Mu). You will have no samples for 
the internal sound engine.  You will have a midi controller.

For example, I used a ROM-less XL-1 to do beats on legacy gear 
(specifically, a Proteus/1 + Orchestral XR.  For the experiment, I 
used the pads on an old KORG DDD-5 drum machine as beat triggers. 

MIDI chain:    KORG --> ROM-less E-Mu --> Proteus/1

As far as it being safe, I can't tell you.  I now have the ROM back 
in the XL-1 and it works as it always did before.  Nevertheless, try 
it at your own risk.  You may want to call E-Mu tech support.  If you 
do let us know what they say.

Anyone have a design/engineering perspective on the safety issue?

Hope this helps.
