modding a PG-1000 for a multi-purpose midi controller using MIOS or?

Forgive me but I don't know where else to post this.

I recently bought a Roland pg-1000 controller and while googling documentation, I came across this guy's site who apparently has programmed his own eprom for the pg-1000 that makes it a regular midi cc controller. 

http://timara.con.oberlin.edu/~jtalbert/Roland/roland.htm

So the question of the day is, can I program my own MIOS based chip to convert the pg-1000 into a standard midi controller ?

Thanks

Well, the modification he describes in that document already does this - so there is no point in trying to modify a PG-1000 using MIOS. The MIDI data output by that beast will not look any different whether you use MIOS or his approach - but his is much easier to achieve because you only need to replace an EPROM, whereas a MIOS-based solution would most probably require a new circuit board.

The other way round might make sense: build a PG-1000 clone based on MIOS (e.g. MIDIbox64), if you cannot find a PG-1000...

Best regards, ilmenator
