the old color brochures showed the paragon 585 & Corsair II; with the 960
power supply on the left side, with the early TiTan on the right side of
the xcvr.
By the time the OMNI V came along, the cover shot had the Paragon on the
left, the TiTan in the middle, with the PS 961 on the far right.... Hmmmmmm
I well remember having to move the PS to the right, and I was disappointed..
