I have:
VZ-10M. VZ-8M
CZ-101, CZ-1
FZ-10M, FZ-20M
SZ-1
(and lots of non-Casio stuff too)

I bought my CZ-101 about 3 months after I bought my first Atari 520St
system (back when both were selling new).  In fact, I bought the CZ
from an Atari dealer!  Fraction of the price of ANY other synthesizer
at the time.  In reality, Casio was the 'Atari' of the synth market,
very VERY good bang for the buck, just never marketed properly.

FYI: The CZ family are not even slightly FM type synthesis.  The VZ's
are closer.  Theere is very little similarity between CZ sounds and
the DX family sounds.  (And yes, the CZ is FAR easier to program then
the DX.)
