@microstar An ETC console with both DMX512 and AMX1-96 & 97-192 outputs AND the unforgetably cute little 'Fred Flintstone Bed Rock' rotary encoder wheel. Definitely cutting-edge ROCK BOTTOM priced technology at the time. I rented one from Christies Toronto in 1991 for a small cast musical in Hamilton's Theatre Aquarius' black box studio space and it performed flawlessly for the entire three week run.
Thanks for the jaunt down memory lane. Good thing you've still got that disc for it.
Toodleoo!

It’s so tiny. Lol.

Programming on that thing must be visionary, eh eh?

Aw, look; it's a little baby Express.

We've actually still got one of these at the college, I think.

@Rose03 Hover your mouse over @microstar 's pseudonym and left click. This should open his profile. Within his profile find where it says: Start a conversation or begin a conversation. On this forum ALL PM's are private with not even DVS Dave, the sites owner, being able to read your PM's unless you also tick the "Share with others" box. In a moment I'll send you a PM and you should find a red ALERT momentarily in the upper right corner of your screen.
