Got it working! Located a ][ Plus in working shape, and put the stuff in it. I've been going through the diskettes checking each one for read errors, locating backups and duplicates of files on working disks, and I think things are pretty well recovered. I'll post some MP3 recordings to .me in the next day or two. Nice sounding synth, but the music editing capabilities are near non-existant. If you can't play it on the keyboard, there's no note editor to fix a mistake, no quantization, and you can't punch in and out, either. Like the ALF, when things get really busy, the music slows down because a 1 MHz 6502 can only do so much. Wish it had MIDI, but that hadn't been invented yet. If it did, I could clean up my playing in Vision. ;) The last version has crude MIDI out capability, but no MIDI in.

Biggest problem is some of the vinyl diskette holders in the 3-ring binder have gotten gummy over the years. Fortunately the goo doesn't seem to have gotten on the disk surfaces.
