	Hmmm....

	Something I've been wondering about for a while... I *love* the TR-707,
but I'm simply not thrilled with the sounds!  I assume these are stored
on a ROM somewhere.  I bet it'd be pretty trivial to modify a TR-707
with the ROM from a TR-727, to allow switching between the two
soundsets... but where I'm curious is whether or not it'd be possible to
burn one's own set of sounds onto an EPROM for use in this machine?

	I've got really no background in this kind of stuff, so I'm shooting
from the hip... anyone know anything about the format of the ROMs
holding the PCM sounds on the TR-707/727?

	Cheers,
	- Drew.
