Yes, I did verify it.  Even if I press as hard as I dare, the cards will
_NOT_ go in.  Also, it looks like the contacts have a slighly different
spacing...
Anyway, forget it.  Only the real cards seem to fit.  On the other hand, 
I heard (but did not verify) that the RAM cards for the Roland synthesizers
DO fit.  Did anybody try?
