The original sample edit interface on the E-II was serial RS-422 
"Appletalk". To make it even more complex, the non-sample communication 
(selecting patches and dumping patch parameters) went through MIDI, 
while the sample dump went over the serial. I don't know whether they 
added MIDI sample dump sysex on some later (Emax era) firmware - I only 
looked into it around 87.
