I remember the ESQ with the cartridge storage. I had a pile of gear mainly a Roland S50 (2 of them) complete with the MT100 tablets, TR808, Akai S5000, Roland D50, Roland U220 and a pile of outboard DSP. I never used it at the time though because at work I had access to an Audioframe, Synclavier 6400 and Fairlight CMI series III.
