Patches and discussion for Ensoniq VFX family

Hi,
I don't know if the expansion might have added a new battery or not.  The
plain VFX battery isn't anything exotic.
My plain VFX had the equivalent of a CR2032 attached to the circuit
board.  I think it was pretty close to being under the display screen;
maybe a little farther back from the keys.
I had a technician solder in a battery holder for a CR2032.  Next time,
replacing the battery will be even simpler.

While you're in there...
In the archives, you can probably read about the keyboard fix.  This
involves a connection, between two circuit boards under the keyboard,
that has a tendency to come undone.

Make a joyful noise,
Nathan
