Re: [yamahacs80] any other MIDI retrofit kit ?

AFAIK from my times being Yamaha Product Specialist, older Yamaha  
products for public market start serial numbering from 1000 up. If  
there are some machines with numbers under 1000, they are prototypes  
or testing pieces.

Maybe that's the reason for a mistake.

Newer products use different coding system, not just simple numbering.
