I didn't see anyone come up with the definitive answer on this.  As
far as I can remember, way back when the VFX-SD to SD-1 upgrades were
originally offered, the upgrade to an SD-1 was a motherboard swap, not
just a chip swap.

But that conversation may have been talking about VFX vs. VFX-SD, or
maybe the 21 vs. 32 voice versions of the SD-1.

There were essentially five synth versions in this family:

VFX
VFX-SD
VFX-SD-II
SD-1
SD-1 32 voice

I know the VFX and VFX-SD have different motherboards.  The VFX-SD and
VFX-SD-II might share the same motherboard.  The others I do not know
about for certain.  The price of the upgrades that Ensoniq originally
offered would NOT lead one to believe that the SD-1 and SD-1-32
upgrades were just a chip swap.

Can anyone on this list speak definitvely on whether diferent members
of the family used the same circuit boards?
