Here, as reference is a Roland TN-SC1, number 13, Dance 3. Also came in a big box (to justify the price), but card is small. Fits inside a PCMCIA case but a different technology altogether. The next series would be based on General Midi/GS instead of MT32 as a midi standard, and would include 8 styles.

The back of the Quasimidi style card looks even more homemade.

Roland TN-SC1 series of cards only had 4 selectable styles. Quasimidi got around this by using switches. 2 switches, 4 possibilities to select 4 music styles.

This case looks like a Disney VHS plastic case. Already that sets the era...

Who wouldn't want some italo-pop or disco-fox? 16 styles by Quasimidi, for some Roland keyboards, and for the RA50 (which I own, like an mt32 plus CA30 arranger in one desktop module)

Roland TN-SC1 series of cards only had 4 selectable styles. Let's see how Quasimidi got around this...
