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

I'd like to suggest that the info be put into a simple HTML doc. That 
way if we get a bunch of these tibits in one folder, someone can 
design an HTML index with links to the individual tidbits. Also, as 
people go through the archives, we can have an HTML index of links to 
tips and things.

Somewhere I have a list of the ROMS and their IDs; I also think Aarom 
posted a list recently.
