thanks for message replies

Many thanks to the people who replied to my email with a bunch of K5 
questions.

I called Kawai and they offered to send me a K5M ROM upgrade (from 
1.0 to 1.02 I think) for $100.  I sent a reply email asking I could 
simply download the firmware file and burn my own EPROM, since $100 
is more than the usual selling price for K5Ms.  I offered to sign a 
silly non-disclosure agreement.

Has anyone ever connected any of the petals to the back of the K5? 
There are four 1/4" phono jacks for petals.  Do these act as simple 
on/off switches, for example connecting the tip to ground when the 
petal is pressed on?  Or are they usually connected to a 
potentiometer that goes to a analog-to-digital convertor in the K5? I 
wish the companie's that make synthesizers would tell us these things 
upfront.

I was told that there is now a working Atari ST emulator for PCs that 
are running Linux.  I forget its name but a Google search will 
probably find it.

Thanks again,
