Subject: Re: [newmellotrongroup] M400S Serial 1190 has arrived.

Hey, Jeff-

The SMS-3 was an old upgrade card in the '70s, I
didn't mean to give you the wrong impression. I think
Sound Sales supplied it to customers. Mine looks like
it was replaced in the field, as it has none of the
other Sound Sales bodges. The modifications on my
unit were done by someone with poor soldering skills,
which I have corrected.

Someone correct me please. Isn't the SMS-2 the
basic card that Streetly currently provides for CMC
upgrades?
