Re: lightpen IIx

2004-03-24 by David J. Wilson

Hello Pascal,

well, you are a lucky guy to have that IIx from Talk Talk.

please let us Fairlighter's know how the samples from Talk Talk's
albums sound.  I heard that IIx sold with library disks from the
Colour Of Spring album (a great CD).

The greedy side of me must ask, can you by chance copy those sample 
floppies to someone's Series III HD so we can have a listen ?
I'd ship a SCSI HD or WORM to get that library copied.

can you post photos on the site here of the famous IIx from
Talk Talk ?

wish I could help on the lightpen, but I have a Series III.

cheers,
David
