I've got a Hi-Lo Systems ALL-11. It's a USB based device. The 
control-software is Windows-based unfortunatly, and it still has the 
feeling of some good old and evil DOS application, but just like back in 
those days... it ticks and works and you understand what it does...

I've tried to run it on Wine but did not achieve the goal that time.
Should try again.

Anyway, it works well and I am happy I bought it. Got it of a friends hand.

Cheers,
Magnus
