Congrats, Paul.  I am sure the 650 will be worth the wait.  And the 
730.  And the 810.  And the <fill in your favorite up and coming MOTM 
module number here>.

Well, the wait has always been worth it!

Congratulations, Paul, way to go...

Congratulations, and hoping for the best for the next 8 (at least!) years! It's going to take me 
that long at least to finish my system at the current rate of progress...

And oddly enough I seem to remember seeing one of the earliest versions of your web page. I 
thought it odd that a company could exist with a product line of only one module that 
produced no sound....  of course, now I know that's fairly common.

Wow, just looked up my first MOTM order and it was on 12/26/98.  I feel 
old!

From the wayback machine:

http://web.archive.org/web/20010302180806/www.synthtech.com/motm/

and i quote

"Synthesis Technology will also offer in the near future a "Road 
Case" that is 18U wide and 11U tall. In this manner, 18 2U wide 
modules can be mounted, with room for a Kenton Pro2000 MIDI-to-CV 
converter!"

when can we expect this to ship?

Heh, I *wish* I knew when my first MOTM order was, or which of my 
modules I bought from Paul and which (3-5?) I got used.  D'oh points, oh 
well!  C'est la vie.  (;  Gotta love the wayback.

you mean earlier than 02/2001?

I have no memory what and when the first brochure was.
This is what I could find:

http://web.archive.org/web/19990223224530/www.synthtech.com/motm/MOTMPL.pdf
http://web.archive.org/web/19981205063738/http://www.synthtech.com/motm/MOTMFAQ.pdf

    HTH, Michael.

I have:

"MOTM CATALOG Version 1.0 March 10, 1998"

"MOTM CATALOG Version 1.15 Oct. 19, 1998"

"MOTM CATALOG Version 1.50 Jan. 19, 1999"

"MOTM CATALOG Version 1.70 June 24, 1999"

and newer in PDF format.  Please e-mail me off-list and I will send you 
a copy.

ivancu@...

Seven plus years; why is Paul not completely fried!

Reminds me of that guy who built the "Coral Castle" in Florida. No one 
can quite figure out how he did it. Rumors of alien technology floating 
about......
