Hi, there!

Well, I was the one who originally posted the subject article(s). Now,
having just received new issues of the hifi slicks, I see that there
is more info on the subject, and better info than in the trade press.
Both AUDIO and HIGH FIDELITY have short items on the CompuSonics.
Since everybody who reads net.audio should be getting all the slicks
(they're cheap enough, after all), I won't repeat a lot of text from
them. HIGH FIDELITY's item is the best -- look at the July 84 issue,
beginning on page 12.

The current system, using current floppies, records a grand total of
four (4) minutes. Having this be a viable product depends on the
development of 50 megabyte floppies by 1985. The encoding scheme is
NOT PCM, but something they are keeping secret. The product has
one 68000 and four TI TMS-320's in it. And the professional system
does use a hard disk for storage.

Yet more in your life from Pie-In-The-Sky Electronics, the company
that advertises the future yesterday....
