Casio CZ/ VZ/ FZ - Pro Series

HA! congratulations! it really makes it what it should be.
i wonder why i sold mine...bad period. but i recently picked up 
a vz8 for 60quid(to replace one i sold also, same reason), and 
have the ra500 for that. having random'ed both to ####, i went 
for vz, but still love that little 101. truly a classic.
see if you can find czartist for pc/mac. does it respond to 
sysex?

latest idle thought is: can these memory devices be cloned?
they go for silly prices. or can the card input be used for 
memory from other devices?
