So, were these Bally Sente boards chips used for the small production 
run of the
DOEPFER A-111-5V MINI SYNTH VOICE (VINTAGE EDITION)?

And could I and other interested still be lucky enough to obtain one 
such module :)

I now read on various supplier websites that this module was available 
for only a very short period of time.
