Update via Dave in the comments:"Hey, they pulled that from my photo page on umop.com. I took that when I was moving into my apartment in July, 2005."

"One thing you can't see in the pic is the OB-Xa in a flight case underneath the other three, snuggled width-wise on the back of the folded down seats. I also had a Voyager at the time which I believe was in the front seat.

So one Camaro, five synths. Camaros are not that hot for carrying lots of synths. I've since traded it in for a Murano which works slightly better."

Roland CMU-800R

Remember this Roland CMU-800R? Looks like inteliko picked it up and could use some help hooking up with an Apple II. Via the comments of this post:

"Speaking of old gear for old computers, I won the CMU-800R on Ebay that was posted here a few weeks back. I'm craving to get a listen and some tweakage on it but I need a working Apple II which isnt in my budget, the purchase tapped me out cashwise along with gifts for my 1 yr old and wife. Anyone with connections to an Apple II who is in or near the FL treasure coast area(Port St Lucie to be exact)can meet up with me for some tweakage on the CMU-800r, Beer and Barbecue on me!!"
