Korg Poly800/EX800 Users

If you look at the manual available from Old Crow's site, page 5 and 
then page 40 seem to contradict one another.  Page 5 implies the 
memory is backed up by an internal battery (a battery other than the 
C batteries), while page 40 implies that this isn't the case.  
Somewhere, maybe here, I read that there's a capacitor that holds a 
charge long enough to save the memory while the C batteries are 
changed.  That makes sense when reading page 40, but others who have 
the 3v lithium battery can point to page 5.

Anyway, just thought I'd add this to the battery discussion.  I just 
won a Poly 800 off of Ebay and I'm waiting for it to arrive.  As I 
read more about the battery or lack thereof I'm becoming more and 
more curious to know which version mine will be.  I don't know if 
I'll be glad it has a battery back-up or not.  I know in any case 
I'll have to replace the battery, or add a back-up battery because 
mine needs "reprogram."  

I just unloaded a Poly 61, and already miss it, so the Poly 800 ought 
to make me feel right at home.
