Hi Dieter,
Thank you for your reply and the info about the first group of modules. It's great you still take time out to interact here on this list. Much appreciated by all here I'm sure. I can imagine those early years in the late 90's were a whirlwind! I'm guessing the pace is still fast today, but not as frantic as those early days. So I completely understand about not having compiled a release date list for each module. I'll see what I can piece together. :-)

Hello Eric,
thank you for your kind words. Unfortunately I don't have a list that tells
the release date of each module. I would have to comb through my records to
generate such a list. But that's a very time consuming process. I'll see if
I have time some day to do this. The very first modules were released end of
1995/early in 1996 and included these modules: A-110, A-114, A-115, A-116,
A-118, A-119, A-120, A-121, A-122, A-123, A-125, A-128, A-130, A-131,
A-138a/b, A-140, A-145, A-148, A-150, A-160, A-161, A-162, A-170, A175,
A-180, A-190. Some of the first basic modules were nothing but the
corresponding circuits of the MS-404 (e.g. A-110, A-118, A-120, A-130,
A-140, A-145).
Best wishes
