Weird MFX hybrid SIII

Weird MFX hybrid SIII

2005-12-02 by Marcin 'Rambo' Roguski

Correct me if I'm wrong, but there's more from MFX than CMI there, as lack of analog 
direct outs suggests...

It looks like an MFX2. It has the router card, thus 24 outs (16
simultaneous) in DB25 form. An interesting machine, at a price to be
expected for an MFX2.

Very nice keyboard too.

Hmmm, interesting. Well, judging by the photos (the last one) it seems
to be an MFX2.

Revamped from Series III, yes, but that guy insists it's series III, buyer's 
gonna be slightly disapointed...

Is this SIII/MFX2 top spec then? I don't really know much about these.
I recall (maybe someone from this list, was based in rance) selling a
turbo charged MFX2 with some special card that was rare and apparently
ran faster than an MFX.

I'd imagine the buyer would be better off. It's an S3 + all the MFX
gubbins... If the buyer was after the S3 for the looks rather than 
content, I suppose then, yes, the buyer might be dissappointed.

My take:

This was a Series III brought later to MFX2 specs although.

I don't think that stock MFX2 read "Series III" on the chassis.

On the other hand, the description is quite confusing because it's clearly
not for this machine...
