Hi All
M4000? Instant classic, by the looks of things. Are there any M5000s in the
pipeline yet? Also, I noticed the reversed colour keyboard on the prototype
in Norm's pics. Is this an option on M4000s generally?
Actually, where do you get the keycaps from? 'Harga's House of Harpsichord
Hardware' ?
Since getting (very) into Vox Continentals I've become somewhat enamoured of
reverse keys.
Yours,
MSW
