   Well if you like that kind of stuff, there's a LNW 80 for sale in a
surplus store here (Skycraft, in Orlando, Florida) for $25. It's another
TRS clone but it's supposed to have the interfaces and extra memory
built-in. Comes complete with a couple of manuals. I know very little
about the TRS stuff and nothing about this clone so if you have questions
post them to the list and see if someone else can answer them.
