Yamaha CS80

Well, I will have to say you have cajones for tearing up a nice new  
Proteus 8
as I couldnt bear to do that.

I am working on bringing some Alphasyntauri systems back to life.
I have the keyboards, the Apple II's, and the Mountain Hardware synth  
cards,
but only have 1 interface, so I have to clone some of those.
I also have a nice set of software for them.

If anyone is interested, let me know what you think.

Also I have a very rare Eventide Spectrum Analyzer board for the  
Apple II,
which I might be cloning as well. It is an outboard filter set with  
an interface for the computer.
I have the software for it as well, and I might try making it work  
with my SPRITE board,
which is a fairly sophisticated video board for the old Apple II  
series, giving it 35 layers of sprites.
