Rumors leaked by unnamed sources close to highly classified R&D laboratories suggest that very early Echoplex prototypes had the following functions listed on the front panel controls: Shields Hyperspace Torpedos The whereabouts of these prototypes is unknown. No information is available on what purpose these functions may have served or why they are not available in commercial units. Experts with top-secret credentials speculated off the record on condition of anonymity that this may have been part of a secret extra-governmental military weapons project, and that these functions may still be in use by clandestine UN special forces units. It has even been suggested that these functions may still be present in commercially available Echoplex units today, buried behind secret functional combinations. However, another unnamed source claimed to have once seen a portion of a top-secret document suggesting otherwise, that these function labels may have been part of a top-secret researcher's nostalgic fondness for early 80's video games. No rumors could be confirmed, and all agencies queried denied all knowledge of any such activity. kim ________________________________________________________ Kim Flint 408-752-9284 Mpact System Engineering kflint@chromatic.com Chromatic Research http://www.chromatic.com
