Renaldo,

    Not sure if someone has already answered the Boomerang portion of your 
post, but, here it goes, ... yes, the new features are going to be a SIPP 
swap out.  In otherwords, you'll purchase your 2 / 4 minute Boomerang and 
then you'll put down $79.00 for the upgraded SIPP, and have to apply just 
a 
little elbow grease and you'll be all set.  Looks like it'll be an issue 
wherein the pedals on the Boomerang are going to become multifunction.

    Don't know on the Echoplex question, though I am hoping that whoever 
it 
is that is going to be running this one, is going to do so relatively soon 
and that they'll be upgrading their QA department as well.  Sounds like 
the 
floating screws, and a few non soldered IC's was a common problem for the 
old 
one.  The other issue, I'm hoping that they'll be upgrading on the newer 
units (hopefully Boomerang will do the same thing) is that they'll go to 
SDRAM SIMM's rather than staying with noisier, slower SIPP's and 32-pin 
SIMM's.
    Then again, by the time such an upgrade would take place the long 
awaited 
1-GB SIPP of Mitsumi would be both available for the public and be sold at 
the prices which they were quoting us some 2 years ago.

    Pardon the tangent on this one!  Kim might be able to give you better 
info on the Trace Elliot marketing the Echoplex in the UK portion of your 
questions.  

    All in all, have fun and back to the Great Loop in the Sky...

        Lee-ohki.
