[sdiy] Korg Kronos/Oasys story

[karl dalen]

The recent hype/unhype around Kronos are interesting.
Both based on a RTOS'ed Linux, P4 for the Oasys
and dual Atom for the Kronos, none worth it's money.
Those who bought the Oasys now boat anchor (8000euro)
are shafted bad since support and system are EOL
according to Korg.

K2000 was once such a ultimate workstation,
can be yours for just 150euro these days.

There should be a list of boat anchors!

The patent seams to describe the first custom DSP
incarnation that was later scrapped for an all
Intel solution.
