The man for the job is Tony Karavidas of Encore
Electronics. 

He was kicking around the idea of doing a CS80 retro
for a bit. Someone with better PR skills than myself
should see if we could rekindle the itch. I gladly
offer mine as guinea pig. 

I'm not certain that an entire new CPU isn't in order-
along the lines of what's been done for the Rhodes
Chroma or over the last few years. We all want patch
memory and as much MIDI as possible. I suspect that
we'll never get to transmit the pressure data since
that seems to imply ADC on every channel, but on a
redesigned CPU board... [w]
