Anything that you think will be valuable, I will include. Currently I 
have:

- link to this mailing list
- links to relevant Chroma articles (Vintage Synths, my Dodds/Williams 
interview)
- links to other relevant info at the site (where to order manuals; the 
ads page; service contacts)
- Service Manual and schematics from Ben Kuris (thanks, Ben!)
- MIDI Implementation manual from David Gowin (Chroma and Polaris 
owner)*
- links to related ChromaTalk mailing list threads, including:
	- pics and discussion, Polaris I vs. II
	- explanations of the Polaris prototype colour scheme
	- "Triad" interface discussion
	- several other miscellaneous topics
- links to a few (minimal) Polaris reviews and sites

*This is available, though not linked, from the current site:

It seems to me that the obviously missing information is patches and 
user documentation.

Excellent--thanks.

I'm currently aiming for an October launch.
