Roland MKS-80 - Board Leaves * The three main PCBs (CPU board and the two voice boards) are stacked but easily accessible.

Roland MKS-80 - Module Board * A revision of the module board with Curtis chips.

Roland MKS-80 - CEM-less Voice Board * Each voice board has its own 8051 Slave-MCU with separate ROM and DAC. This is a latter version with an installed DAC adaptor board and Roland's IR3R03 VCOs - all Curtis CEMs are gone...

Roland MKS-80 - DAC Module Board * This is the DAC adaptor board that Roland used as a substitutive for the origin ITS80141 (a 14-Bit multiplying DAC). It features a MD6205 DAC with some circuitry that makes it pin-for-pin compatible with an ITS80141.

Roland MKS-80 - S&H Caps * These are the S&H capacitors of one voice board.
