Casio CZ/ VZ/ FZ - Pro Series

it's cool thanks - your kicks are your kicks :)

i have considered the ultra satan, and a friend got it, you 
have to find own case for it and assemble..i was wondering 
if the emulator and a few old pendrives could fulfill same 
role on the cheap.(but you lose floppy)

do you know if the MegaST4 can have its TOS language changed? 
i have a french one, but its a bit of a drag, would like to 
switch to english: do i need a new eeprom?

also: it seems they need 40secs for the reboot to initiate, 
which the regular STE i've had for 17yrs doesn't. that also 
doesn't have the fan noise! and has TOS 1.06.
i got the MegaST4 for the format eg: separate k/b, but it doesn't 
really seem to be an advantage after all, and i think they are 
the equivalent of STFs, rather than STE. 
any knowledge? (impossible to join the atari forum, absolutely 
no idea what the correct repsonse to the trick question is, i 
tried everything and they have no contact email!!!!!

and yeah: i think AWave looks better than ChickSys. dead simple 
to do a drumkit, you just choose map consecutive keys or whatever, 
bam, it's done.
