Yeah, the sticker on the ROM identified it as XROM1, the same as the
XK-6 ROM (though it comes up as just XROM).  And it has the same
instruments and presets (including the XK-6 jam: presets), but the
riffs list is different.  Only 252 instead of the 331 listed in the
XK-6 manual, and in a different order.

Was there any documentation that came with the XLv2 ROM packaging?  It
was already installed when I got the unit, and didn't come with any
other details.
