Well, the best source of all three is this group, and
eBay (though they're rare). You do not need cards to
get it actually working though, if you have MIDIfied
computer, you can load and store banks and patches on
disk (it's cheaper, by the way).

Can you elaborate on "no display" issue? Do you mean
it's just backlight faded away, or your VZ doesn't
have any?

As for accoustic piano- well, you actually bought
_wrong_ instrument (tongue in cheek); it's a very
powerful synthesizer, yet it's not for accoustic
sounds (not that you can't do piano if you really try-
the same goes for Hammond emulation). This synth is
for powerful "in your face" sounds, gritty, agressive-
I love to hate it, that's why I bought one :)
