Emax

Hey sounds interesting, i got the same version than Mr. Esynthesist  
but got a lot of programm and exemple i grabed from a v1.0.
I would be i interested in buying a copy of your version of turbosynth  
as it seems that it can do RS422 and SDS.
For doing a proper image copy of the software i can give you Norton  
floppier its awesome for copying protected floppies.
I have Alchemy 3, as a fully working software too with the original  
installer, key authorisation from a floppy, you just put thr image  
back to the floppy with Norton floppier, works perfect.
Best

Laurent
