Hi Peter,

Yes I posted a request, but not in this wording. I specifically asked for
the serialnumber of their CMI, with regard to the offering I was made. I
bought the unit nevertheless for its MFX value. The MKB that came with the
unit supposedly belonged to JJ Jeczalik. (has anyone else been offered an
MKB from JJ ?)

HOWEVER... Peter Wielk stated the previous owner was Peter Williams, from
whom I bought the unit. They are friends. I know that the unit is old and
that Peter Williams has indeed used an MFX2 in his zerosphere studio
(SoundOnSound interview, a NAIM of Note
http://www.soundonsound.com/sos/jun01/articles/naimlabel.asp )
The MFX2 splash screen lists zerosphere, so I presume this is indeed the
unit mentioned in the article. There is no official link to the previous
owners at this point, however the thought is inspiring.

To answer you other question in the other mail, yes I am still waiting for
Peter Williams to come up with the optical drive. It was supposed to be
delivered with the unit but it was sworn to be mailed to me a week later.
After various emails, some recent, Peter still has to mail it.

Cheers ! :-)
Harald.
