Probably temporary problems with the server... Or maybe his web site is being redesigned and down momentarily ?
I just bought the firmware upgrade from Chris for my early version Opto-Key just last month, and everything was going fine. In fact, he told me that the Opto-Key was more popular then ever, lately.

Anyway, you could always send him an email, maybe that still works ?

Hi Jay'

I just responded to your email.

ThisOldSynth is hosted on Yahoo small business, or whatever they call themselves now. Any unavailability is down to them and with the reported access issues I hear about I do not recommend them as a hosting service if anyone is looking for a hosting service.

Thank you Alain for your kind words.

I do have a few tested Opto-key kits ready to ship (I'm offering free shipping for Xmas). The website is: http://www.thisoldsynth.com/Optokey.html

Best,

Chris
