Casio CZ/ VZ/ FZ - Pro Series

"SY99 features five expansion slots which allow the size of the MDR / sample
RAM area to be expanded to a maximum of 3 MB using optional expansion memory
boards SYEMB05. Each expansion memory board adds 512 kB to the amount of MDR
/ sample memory available."

Full stats on the SY99 are available here:

The big problem with buying one used is that you had better make sure the
owner has stocked it with SYEMB05 RAM cards, otherwise you're screwed
(sampling wise).  Those RAM cards are very difficult to find.

Even more so with the Yamaha TG-500 (rack version of the SY99) -- without
the RAM cards, there's no way to use your own samples; no MIDI or SCSI
sample dump option exists.

You mean you could play back WAV? How much memory was there?
