Casio CZ/ VZ/ FZ - Pro Series

In another strand some time ago it was mentioned that I have the "defeat CZ handshaking" blurb online - I so far have not managed to overcome the rather cumbersome FZ...but CZ230s/101/1000 (not sure about CZ1/3000/5000) can have the complex handshaking bypassed.

I have used the above method to send Sysx to the above machines and transfer from 100/1000 to 230s - I don't see why in principle it is not possible to dump Sysx play some notes and then dump some more Sysx.

I'm not quite sure if something like this is possible, as CZ synths 
use rather non standard handshaking communication...
