New member, on my third prophet 2000. Have to say thanks.

2007-11-08 by eric_swhite

It's been ten years since my last P2k.  I just picked up my third unit 
a few days ago. No manual. But your site, and its files, along with my 
old memories; have awoken the beast.  Yes they run hot. Like a pheonix! 
I just payed some cat here in Seattle 150.00 for a mint condition, 8-
output expanded, O.S. 4.2 Prophet 2000. I thought it was such a steal, 
it came with a new spare floppie-drive, and some new wine country 
discs. Then in scanning the old posts on this site, I read one from the 
guy I bought it from, saying he had just picked it up for 75.00. This 
was four months ago. He doubled his investment. He had no understanding 
of it's sampling capacity. He was using it only to play back the discs. 
It was all too surreal. I had manuals with my first two units. I agree 
that the writer was excellent. Stanley......I was at first concerned 
about the heat in the back by the midi ports. Answered in the postings. 
The most amazing thing though, is manual SECTION 13. Hello. It's like 
the rosetta stone. I think mine might even be the coveted expanded 
beyond 512k-type of memory. How would I ever really find out? And how 
do I load more than one disc of samples into the machine, and have 
access to them all? These are puzzling questions, I put them out on the 
floor. Thank you all for being here to help.  ESW
