J,

We owe you a serious debt of gratitude. I think that it would be a 
good idea for us to add all of this information to the files section, 
along with what you scan and send later. If I get a chance within the 
next few days, I'll make a stab at smoothing out the translation. 
Then maybe the moderators can contact Yamaha central to see whether 
we can play a more official role in the transition to the III. With 
NAMM just around the corner, slightly anticipatory announcements on 
this board couldn't be too threatening to the mothership. On the up 
side, we could generate sales.
