Comments: * If buying a Mirage, make sure it comes with a floppy disk OS. Otherwise, you'll be chasing one down online, and usually paying too much for it. Personally, I wouldn't bother ... * The Korg DSM/DSS siblings are HIGHLY underrated, but while rackmount is nice, I'd avoid the DSM-1, simply because it doesn't have the full filter capabilities of the DSS-1. * Might want to include the Casio FZ series. OS can be buggy (mine would often randomly place pops & clicks into samples), but if it's good enough for the entirety of Deee-Lite's first album ... oh, if only all this gear would've been this cheap back in the day.
