Interesting, it's not listed on wikipedia and the part number alone also applies to the normal desktop chip

Does this fit into a regular socket when the components / dip-switches on the underside are mounted? I have those sockets with some larger caps or even temp-sensors mounted within the socket cavity in mind. This adapter has to be soldered to the CPU pins right? Any chance to integrate some tiny …

Even if you add the optocoupler the chip might not be able to handle fast sysex. Better budget options are getting a second hand m-audio midisport uno or Roland UM-1S. If you get this old roland cable you will have to edit the drivers for windows. The best way is to get a Roland UM-One Mk2.

I also have a TG300 but haven't had to remove the battery yet, because it still works and looks okay visually. By the way, is it common for a TG300 to have manually burned and labeled EEPROMs?

One synth that hasn't been mentioned yet is the M-GS64. I wonder how it compares to the SC88. Same or different DAC?
