OT (Doefper), but a follow-up from previous post......

http://machines.hyperreal.org/manufacturers/Octave/Cat/mods/octave.Cat.cv-in-mod 0059

The above link is probably where I got my A-1000 info. I've never owned
that first version, and I've not found another reference in a two minute
scan of google links, so I can't really confirm that it is a fact. Maybe
someone else on the forum has a version 1 Cat and can check the 'model'.
Perhaps it is only written on the circuit board....in which case, it's not
that big a deal.

Again, sorry for off topic action.....just a bit defensive, I suppose.
