it's a been _l_o_n_g_ time since i checked out maad's update for the ms6 - 
http://www.maad.net/ms6/

for starters, try to find an ms6... his kit is $72(US) just for an EPROM! 
if you buy a memory backup battery from him that would bring your total to 
$90, but you'd still have to rely on a battery.

i have to say, that puts the value of the hawk-800/atomohawk kits into 
perspective. start with "commodity" synths that can sometimes be found at 
garage sales. then add not just custom firmware, but also custom hardware. 
that takes time _and_ money (not to mention more than a little lovin') to 
develop.

but then look at the feature list for the ms6 upgrade -

compare that to mike's upgrade - 
http://patrioticduo.tripod.com/hawk800/FeaturesCompleted.html

mike wins!

mike: lemme know how the rack-kit is coming along. if needed, i'll 
consider buying two rack kits if it will help with funding and/or 
motivation.
