More importantly; NS I don't believe that you mentioned Davids 480 surround algorithm, which I believe he is quite proud of. I will add that it rocks, even in stereo, and makes finding a surround option cart for the 480 a requirement for 480 fans.

Almost. Decay optimization had to do with managing allpasses (could be my memory giving out. Got a virus of some sort today). The decoupling parameter was called "Link". It 'disappeared' and hasn't been missed. David's nice surround algorithm was based on the Random Hall and was 2-in/4-out. I don't think we have any of the carts left, so you'd have to pursue them on the open market. The 480L cart format was based on the cart for the PC-Junior. In retrospect, that perhaps wasn't the best choice...
