Re: 16mb E4k simm

In my opinion, starting the auction at $100 seems low, unless the e-
bay market for e-Mu ROMs has dropped in the past few months. (Read 
the discussion about e-bat here in the archives.)

I believe within the past year, an E-synth ROM went for around $256.

I recommend testing the ROM if you are serious about selling it.

Good luck.
