And that's Steve Pocaro of Toto in that picture.

When I worked at Sight & Sound Music Software circa 1984, one of 
our team of six was Ralph Dyck, who played synth on albums 
like "Toto IV" and "Turn Back".  

He had worked at Roland and worked on our DOS-based MIDI editing 
and recording program, quite proficient in C and x86 assembler.  
I believe this is a description of his demo of our software:

Here's a description of Dyck's MC8, a TTL-based 1024-note sequencer 
from 1971:

His son is an accomplished digital musician, too: http://www.jeffvandyck.com/ .
