Yup, 8-10 years ago. IIRC, 128 settings can be stored in that system. 
The controls looks really ugly, but it lets you change tunings _while_ 
playing. I saw a vid on the tele where Page demo'ed it; very impressive 
hitting a chord and retune for a completely different expression..
I've wanted one of those ever since, but the price penalty.. well..

The Gibson system takes seconds to change tuning. Looks elegant though, 
and somewhat more affordable. Probably won't be made retrofitable..
