Unfortunately, I think I threw out all my notes on the CZ-5000 about 
2-3 months ago.  I may be able to test this out by recording DH-100 
data into the sequencer.  I will let you know the results.

I know it had the memory space for sequencer data which could be 
accessed via sysex data dump.  I'm not sure if it had anything else 
(chip/code/etc.)

I'm not famililar with tyhe MC202 program, but it would probably be 
alot easier to just load the songs into a CZ-5000 sand either (1) 
play them into a sequencer or (2) save them as midi dumps and write 
code to convert the sysex dumps into standard midi files.

If I had my CZ-5000 notes, they might help with option (2).

It figures:  I held onto the notes for 20 years, toss them out, and 
then find that they might be useful to someone for some project.  If 
there were money involved, I probably could retrace my footsteps and 
recreate enough of my notes to work on a CZ-5000 sequencer tune dump 
to midi file.  However, it is not a project I would take on just for 
the fun of it.

And for no amount of money would I ever want to write a program to 
convert digital data tapes into text.  :-(
