It's all the same kind of gear fetish/trivia geek thinking. Like the folks who spend a bunch of time playing with different op amps in Ibanez Tube Screamers to find the best sounding one, even though the guys who made those boxes popular just grabbed whichever one was nearest to them in the store.

"E-mu computer" is probably an E-mu 4060 polyphonic CV/gate keyboard/sequencer unit.

Don't forget the DJ 70, and the upgraded DJ 70 MkII. Both had 3 octave keyboards and a large disk on the right side for doing turntable scratching imitations. Oddball members of the U20 family were the Rhodes Model 660 and Model 760. Roland owned the Rhodes name at the time, and the two units were b...
