        My first reader was a Philips CM-205/206 with it' proprietary
interface card. Had a lot of fun (not) getting it to run under OS/2.
I also had a system full of 8bit ISA boards and was constantly
playing the IRQ shuffle. Never did get the CM-205 and a Pro
AudioSpectrum running under OS/2 together with an ATI VGAWonder XL/24.
