Sequential circuits samplers

well, that's certainly intriguing..  i've actually opened my p3k up 
to have a look inside, and the revisions are in fact A or B and even 
C for some boards, apparently.  mine is revision B, and this i guess 
is a main determining factor for whether or not it can be upgraded to 
a 4 MB version.  however, i was using os 3.0b and did have a few 
crashes with the OS, basically freezing up on me when i'd do things a 
particular way, so i'm not sure what the deal is.  i might just get a 
copy of their OS to see if it makes any difference.  anyhow, i 
appreciate your info, very interesting!
