Emu XL-7 & MP-7 User's Group

Bob,
I'll try to compile this info to either a text or Word doc and upload 
to the files section. You're right it is a shame that I would sell 
such a fine piece of gear as the XL-7. Damn taxes !!! Need the 
money !! Agreed though.. Mibrilane did an excelent job of compiling 
this info.

Later,
Vic
