   Ummm... the MT-32 I have in my studio is the old MC-20 chipset in a
small (1/2 wide 1 RU) MIDI module w/no keyboard... it is a passable
late-80s vintage synth, albeit the 'drums' are wonderfully crappy, if
you're into musical sarcasm.

  It's going up on eBay, BTW, alnong with a bunch of other of my Vintage
Keys... I don't make music that way any more, and I need Da Bux rather
badly right now - so don't bitch me out *too* badly for it.

  I did sell Big Moog, but directly (no eBay) to a guy in Nasville who is
loving it to death, so it's happier there than here, and that's what I've
been basically living off of for the last few months. Unfortunately....

  Oh well.

  And I suppose the MT-32 is sorta on-topic because it's more than 10
years old and defintely has a computer in it...

  Cheers
