HI, I recently bought a "Roland CM-32LN" on an auction as junk and when i connected it didn't sound correct. Sounded like an SC-55 or similar.

I tried some games that make use of the CM-32L sounds and i got no sounds so I thought that maybe the rom was patched or there was some malfunction. I opened it and surprise! It seems somebody put a roland SCC-1 it seems, with a maybe daughterboard? and lot of patches.

Could somebody identify what could it be? Now i have an external, battery powered SCC-1? (it even works with the 6x batteries installed)
Could I use it for something? I have already an sc-88 so i do not really need it but I am aware that the SCC-1 card is very expensive (if it is). I am upset because i wanted a cm-32ln very bad, but at the same time I'm amazed for the "engineering".

it seems someone really wanted to have some sc55-like to their PC98...
so they ditched the original innards (mpu interface + LA board) replaced the mpu interface with a butchered SCC-1 and replaced the scc-1 onboard synth with that daughterboard (probably from some keyboard?)
keep this as a curio , everything is way gone at this point so restoration is almost impossible...

holy carp, this is some butchering that has been done there 😳

But yeah, it doesn't seem like it can be restored in any easy way...
