I asked everyone I knew on every forum about this upgrade and nobody had any solid info. Most thought it was only in Europe/UK and not US. Some thought it would be about 200 USD.
I sent an email to George Kaye Music in the Los Angeles Area and he spent his time and money to get the info for me, where to buy it and that it cost 29.95.
I now have it on order and it is 5 day delivery surface from Roland.
This is what it does:
