Re: [korgpolyex] Re: EX800 vs Poly800 Eprom differences

Hi there,
The CPU won't get any RES6.5 interrupts unless MIDI bytes are being
received. And unless you're sending a large number of MIDI messages,
you probably won't see the interrupts on your oscilloscope and
definitely not on a logic probe.
The differences are minor. The board you're using is perfectly OK in an
EX-800. The circuit diagram is identical between Poly-800 and EX-800.
The only difference in the code between the ROM's is that the Poly has
keyboard scanning routines and EX-800 does not. And the EX-800 has
sysex functions and the Poly-800 does not.
