via the seller: "This is a Waveterm A in the Waveterm B enclosure.

This is as per the factory upgrade to the 5 1/4 disc drives.

Serial number WT0200

Waveterm come with Data Cable.

Supplied with small Library from 1984 (the year not the film)

Unit is 110V and 220V selectable.

So far most of the systems are working however there seems to be a problem with the sample play back. We suspect that the operating systems disc may be corrupted. At present the Waveterm is being tested by one of the top UK Synth techs and I will provide more info as it comes in.

Additional Info
After much experimentation it appears that all systems work with the exception of sample play back. Fourier and Wave Tables operate correctly and can be seen and heard working. External Sampling comes in, you can see the waveform but playback is corrupted. Disc drives work correctly. Communications works correctly. The Waveterm has been tried with two different 2.2's and intern both 2.2's have been tried with two different Waveterms all with the same outcome weird sample playback. The only common item is the system software which we only have one copy of!!

Additional Info
I have been advised that a new systems disc is on its way from a very cool guy. I will contact Mr. Repair Monday and find out any more info. I have also been advised that I had over priced the unit so a new BIN price is now available. Having spoken to Mr. Repair we may have found the problem to be a faulty lead. We are in the process of getting a new lead so we can give it a go. OOOhhh i'm so excited!!"
