Iversen) Subject: Re: Ibycus cd unit Dear Mark, Ibycus cd units are very, very scarce, so I doubt that you'll be able to find one. Here at Ohio State ours too was acting up a few years ago, and after failing to procure a new one (in despite of the fact that we work on the PHI project), we sent it in to Sony, which I think was in Palto Alto, CA. They fixed it and it's worked fine ever since. Try that before you give up. I should add, however, that the disks can be searched more quickly with Silver Mountain or Pandora, so I'd recommend moving to one of those programs anyway, which means you won't need your Ibycus machine. If you decide to give up on your Ibycus, we could probably use some of the parts to keep our machines working for the PHI project, so please let us know. Cheers, Paul A. Iversen, Lecturer Dept. of Greek and Latin Center for Epigraphical and Paleaographical Studies. >Mark Williams posted >> Our Ibycus cd unit here is on its last legs.
