Subject: Re: HAWK-800 - the situation

I will fix the battery problem this year. But for now, you can use
three AA batteries.

I will fix the sequencer bug. There is no work around for it so I will
just have to fix it.

But my wife has run out of patience. So even though I would like to
keep "Korging", as she puts it, I have to move on to other things for now.

Perhaps I'll sneak some work into the kit while no ones looking.

Mike.
