William Bottin (http://myspace.com/bottinski and http://www.williambottin.com/) managed to successfully install the CS01-MIDI board inside the CS01 case.

I don't know if I'd suggest anyone to do it, since it's a rather tricky task...here's what I did:

• remove the speaker (it's glued. so you'll have to slaughter it - sorry!)
• file off the bits of plastic that ket the speaker in place
• drill a hole for the midi socket and place it there. you might have to bend some of din pins, but it'll fit, eventually.
• put isolating tape on the keyboard metal frame to avoid short circuits with the kit.
• place the kit (with no dip switches) and connect the dc and midi wires as seen in picture. (leds can be left off - but if you want you can place them leds so that their light will be visible from the speaker grid)
• now try to place the cs01 pcb back in its place. watch out for the headphone and output jack, they must not go over the midi kit. you might have to fill off other bits of plastic from the cs01 case. have a blast
• once you're sure that it fits (don't rush it. it's a trial-and-error process!), remove it and position all the wiring on the back of the keyboard
• once the cs01 pcb is back in place, the midi kit wire should come out next to the black keyboard wires (see pic)
• connect the 12 control wires, the dc wires and finally the midi.
• carefully reassemble the cs01 case.
