The 16 bit sampling product alluded to in the SunRize flyer does exist in 
operational form. SunRize themselves saw it in action for the first time 
when they flew me out to AmiExpo in Anaheim in October (no magazines picked it
up, though). Our company, Vision Quest, has had this board in development for
a little under a year. It will be expensive, $1200-$1500, but represents real
state of the art audio technology, producing recordings equal to some of the 
best digital audio tape recorders. It will also be able (either at release time
or shortly thereafter) to accept digital input from pro and semi-pro CD players
and DAT's. 

The press releases represent what is known as a "teaser". It is intended to 
pique interest in those people who have been waiting for such a product. This
particular product is on track for a late first quarter/early second quarter
1991 release. More information will be provided to emailers.
