I would say, somewhere between a foot long and three inches wide, up to about two feet long, and about six inches wide.

;) I can program in anything, on anything.

Cylinders? Don't know, really. Mostly I'm in this for my own amusement, and to that extent, perhaps a dozen or two over a period of years. However, like the fellow who does disks out in Ca. this could become a nice sideline hobby - if it pays for at least some of my music box habit, I can defend it. =)

> Do you have a capital budget of $1500-2500 or so for equipment?

Yes, I could pull that together. What dost thou have in mind?

regards, Larry
