You might recall from this post MIDIPolis makes the extensive Minerva MIDI upgrade kit for the Roland Jupoter-60 and Jupiter-4. See the post for the specs, a stock photo and audio demo.
XBS wrote in to let us know he has a post up with pics on the installation. Check it out here.
"So, there is soldering with this kit but it’s designed in an ingenious way. The new chip socket is soldered in piggy back fashion to the underside of the Panel Board B processing chip... I put a lot of pictures in the gallery of the socket that holds the new board. It’s got ‘forks’ on one side that literally fit over the solder side tabs for IC 14 on Panel Board B. It took serious care to make sure this was all lined up and seated nicely over all 40 pins. That’s correct, 40 pins worth of tiny cramped soldering."
