I've been trying to get some of mine working, and getting frustrated  
with the infuriatingly short 1MHz bus cables on the Music 5000,  
combined with an equally infuriatingly short power lead on the Music  
2000.

What on earth where they thinking? The ports are under the computer!  
You need space to actually plug these in without them being forced to  
be flush to the side of the system! I'm rapidly losing interest in  
getting it set up properly because the Master's keys are fading and  
need replacement, everything takes up stupid amounts of space, and  
the magazine I wanted to produce an article for hasn't replied (even  
with a "no, no thanks now") to my first draft of the 8-bits, 16- 
tracks article I was working on :/

Retro computers take up FAR too much space.
