I just posted a complete Roland 1680 package on eBay:

Complete Roland 1680 DAW package. Includes the classic Roland 1680 DAW ver 2.02 (original box as well as original shipping box with original factory padding materials) and all manuals (VS-1680 Owner's manual, VS-1680 Quick Start manual, VS-1680 Appendices manual, VS-1680 VXpanded manual which covers the additional functionality covered in the v2.02 software upgrade like mastering and other enhancements), the CDR II drive (original box, packing materials, manuals, gig bag, plastic gizmo that goes into CD drive to protect unit during shipping, power cable, and cable to connect to 1680), one VS8F-2 FX board (installed in 1680), and all original owner's manuals that were included in the original boxes.
I am also including a FREE Hosa Eight Channel Hi-Definition Recording Snake ("Hosa Eight Channel Hi-Definition Recording Snake" is printed on the snake's protective outer shell). The snake is approx 6 feet long and has RCA jacks on 1 end (will connect to the 1680's individual track outputs on rear of 1680) and 1/4" jacks on the other which is ideal for the 1680 so you can export 8 tracks at a time to an external device.
I am the original owner of the entire package. It has existed in my smoke-free home studio since purchasing it. In particular, the 1680 remains in amazing condition because I have always covered it after powering it down. This seemingly small detail has prevented it from incurring issues common with other electronic gear that have been exposed to the long term affects of dust, especially issues with faders. If this is not the cleanest 1680 you have ever seen, it is a close second.
The CDR II has been in the same environment but has not been covered but it is also in excellent condition. The VS8F-2 FX board, I had purchased at the same time as the 1680 and CDR II, so it was installed on the day I got the 1680. The 1680 was purchased from Musicians Friend and as a result, I have all the original packing materials, inner box, shipping box, etc. The 1680 will ship in the same box (inner box + outer box) that MF shipped it to me, while the CDR II will be shipped in a separate shipment to ensure all items are properly packed and protected.
If you are tired of using a mouse for work AND recording, this package is an excellent solution. I originally bought it so I wouldn't have to use a mouse (hands hurt) and so that I wouldn't have to rely on Windows (i.e., the Windows OS) when recording. Most people are eBaying these items separately, but I have chosen to package them together so you benefit from buying all these items from the same owner, original owner plus receive a FREE snake.
