Re: Kit availability

2008-05-10 by korgpolyex800

G'day Marcus,

That's great news!

Yes, there was a typo mistake in the BOM, which I've now fixed.

So there should be three (3) EEPROM's and they are the 28C64B's.
One EPROM is a 2764 and two static RAM chips are 6264.

You can get the latest instructions at
http://patrioticduo.tripod.com/korgpoly800ex800mkiii/techsupport.html

Let me know if you need any help or would like to suggest any changes
or additions for the instructions.

Mike.
