Casio CZ/ VZ/ FZ - Pro Series

The CasioTony CZ-101R lives!

I finally got my service manual.  I used it to understand the CZ-
101.  From its guidance, I learned what I could do to the stock CZ.  
Then I took my CZ-101 apart. I desoldered the following boards:
* piano keyboard switch matrix
* programmer keyboard switch matrix
* programmer LED latch board

I stuffed the remaining boards (Synth, P/S, Display, volume, on-off 
switch) into a 1U rackmount shelf unit that acts as a chassis.  I 
used corrugated paper for a faceplate to mount the controls.  All 
external connections actually wound up facing backwards.

I used my CZ-1000 to send my CZ-101R MIDI notes. It plays fine!

I'll post a URL to pictures and instructions later this week.  Even 
if I never build the new programmer interface that I've designed, I  
have a working rackmounted CasioTony CZ-101R.
