Re: [xl7] Re: Incompatible Planet Earth rom with XL-7 2.0 [2 Attachments]

2017-02-21 by Daniel Forró

This is really mystery. It doesn't look like the original Emu  
expansion card - maybe some copy or clone?

But if it works in Planet Earth, there's hardly any problem. I would  
leave it there and use it with the advantage of more polyphony and  
MIDI channels together with your XL7.
