Hiya mcoyote, the Oasys was much too expensive in its original form in 1994 - it was originally slated to have a $10K tag or something, and as it was so far ahead of its time the DSP available wasn't as powerful or cost-effective as they liked. Now, 11 years later, it's the perfect chance.
However, parts of the original R&D for the Oasys has since trickled into a lot of later Korg's products. - Wavedrum, Prophecy, Z1, Trinity, the Electribes, etc.
