Attic find re-discovers Hybrid Music documents
A recent attic find by Kevin Doyle turned up over 35 documents related to the Hybrid Music System, of which 28 were previously lost.
The discovery of these documents covers flyers, advertisements, installation documents, hardware specifications, commercial and education pricelists and newsletters providing an excellent historical view of all things Hybrid Music!
- Did you know the "Music 87" was originally marketed as the "Music 7000"?
- How about the fact that the Hybrid Music System was used to compose pieces for the very popular contemporary TV show, Granada TV's "The Return of Sherlock Holmes" for the episode "The Man with the Twisted Lip"?
- What about the Music 2000 being developed for the PC186?
Well, these documents reveal all in a veritable treasure trove of Hybrid Music history!
So many thanks to Kevin for sending me all of his scans so that I can put them on the site for everyone to enjoy!
So please browse around the Hybrid Music System pages to discover these fantastic resources.

Pre-order your Ultra VIDC Enhancer now
I opened up a list of pre-orders in anticipation of creating a new batch of Ultra VIDC Enhancers in 2016. Due to delays, they're now going to be ready in February 2019. Please contact me to enquire about being placed on a pre-order list. No payment is necessary until the Ultra VIDC Enhancers are ready to ship.
The anticipated price should remain the same at £32 each + £4.95 P&P to locations in the UK (other countries may incur greater shipping costs). The package includes the Ultra VIDC Enhancer, all connecting cables, headers and jumpers required for your Archimedes and a 3.5" floppy disc with the software on.
