The CX5MII/128. I've just been playing with one. Unfortunately I can't
find the screws on the underside, so I haven't been able to get inside.
It's a rather interesting machine though. Mine has an SFG-01 original FM
sound synthesizer and an FM Voicing II mini-cartridge under a cover in the
base of the machine. Calling fmv produces the normal SFG-01 patch editor;
however, calling music produces a screen more like the SFG-05's. I'm
slightly confused here; this machine has version two cartridges but the
original version one expander, and I can get both screens described in the
CX5M FAQ for the two expanders, by typing different call commands.
Can anyone explain what's going on here? All the data on the web indicates
the CX5MII/128 came with the second version of the hardware. I'll try
this machine with a SFG-05 after Christmas, and also upload the SFG-01 ROM
read from the chip itself.
