I'm thinking it probably was an EII. It's just a
guess, though.

I have an EII+ (as well as a CMI IIx) and I've always
thought that it kicks the crap out of the CMI
sample-quality wise. I mean, I love my Fairlight and
all but I think the EII is by far the best sounding
8-bit sampler. MUCH longer sample time too. Too bad
the file handling's so wretched. 

Just my opinion, of course. :-)
