Throw it away?!!? NOOOOOO!!!
Don't do it Keith! XAs deserve better than that, and there are only a finite
number of them in the World (whereas the supply of XA2s seems limitless).
Looking at the complexity inside a Mju-II (on the Olympus web site) I find
it hard to believe that it will have the same longevity or survivability
as an XA (12+ years for mine).
