Emu XL-7 & MP-7 User's Group

Thanks Sean.  Sounds good.  And thanks for making the manuals 
available online - I've read the Halo manual, but I have two 
questions:
Why are there 3 buttons on the left hand side of the keyboard where 
the other keyboards (PK-6 et al.) have 4? (according to the picture on 
the website)?
Can the Halo take XL-7/MP-7/P2500/PK6 etc. ROMS.
Thanks,
Peter
