It takes FOUR of the little suckers just to load the S-10's tiny memory! Almost makes you wish for a cassette interface... And the Mirage is 8-bit, not 12, as is (I believe) the S-612. Personally I wouldn't pay more than $250 for an S-612; they're not good for much more than sound effects. Devon -- ------------------------------------------------------------- Devon M. Copley P.O.
