For quite a while I have been interested in a synthesizer for my old
apple II+, specifically the Alpha Syntauri, a 4-octave digital
synth introduced a few years ago.  I don't know how much one of these
things costs, but I would be interested in using one or perhaps
buying a used one.

   If anyone has one of these beasts, I would appreciate hearing from
you -- I would like any information on the synth that you can provide.
This includes limitations, creating voices, which slots does it take up
in the apple -- anything.  I would be extremely interested in buying
a used one if you have one that hasn't been getting used much lately,
or perhaps borrowing it for a month or two to get a feel for it.

   Any information would be appreciated.  Thanks.
