emulatorII-list

Mike,

Yea, its a small world when it comes to Shugart disk
jumpering:)  

If this E1 decides to be too much of a basket case I
might preform an act of blasphemy.  I was thinking of
gutting it out and putting a EIII XP in there with a 4
octave MIDI controller and hooking up a few of the
panel buttons, and maybe putting the display in the
floppy holder or something like that.  I remember Ed
R. telling me that some guy used to have a gutted out
E1 that had been converted into a hibachi. I won't go
that route.

Thanks for the info.
G
