Casio CZ/ VZ/ FZ - Pro Series

Hi,

I had the same problem with my CZ-101 when I first got hold of it.

I remedied the situation by getting a universal adaptor (9v 500ma), 
testing it with the different connectors. One of them fitted just 
perfect and I haven't looked back since!

It's a crazy machine (try doing compare on a blank patch, then 
fiddling around with the parameters - it's insane!)
