Has anyone heard about Hardware Hacks for the Roland MT-32 (old) for Sound Quality Improvements, as well as a CR2032 battery for backups?

And according to Wikipedia, I found a statement about the modification:
In the period of 1989 to 1993, Robin Whittle of Real World Interfaces[8] offered aftermarket modifications to the MT-32 to address its sound quality issues, as well as improve the functionality of the reverberation unit, provide discrete analog outputs for the internal reverb send and reverb return, and provide battery backup of the MT-32's settings.
According to documentation written in 1990, these modifications were only available for the first-generation MT-32, and not the later "headphone" model or any of the other MT-32 derivatives.
Note that the RWI modifications were intended for those using the MT-32 professionally, and may cause some minor compatibility issues with video game soundtracks intended for a stock MT-32. In particular the changes to the reverb unit functionality will likely cause an RWI modified MT-32 to render reverberation differently from what was intended, with possibly detrimental effects.
