Yamaha CS80

Other than a few resistor values changes on the M boards, there are the 
same.  The SH and KAS boards will be missing half their parts (4vc vs. 
8vc) on the CS-50, but those parts can be installed easily enough.  The 
KAS board gets the number of notes to assign from pull-down resistors on 
the K1~K8 pins.  The CS-50 & 60 do not have things like the TKC/TKB 
boards, of course.

  I bought my CS-50 for the very reason you state: CS-80 spare parts.  
But after fixing the damage inflicted on it by UPS, I decided it was 
interesting enough to keep and let live its own life.
