We present a status report on the investigation of the Mobius scheme for producing equal-emittance round beams at CESR. An insert has been constructed with six 45/spl deg/ rotated quadrupoles which interchange horizontal and vertical betatron oscillations on each passage. We describe the single-beam dynamics and the limitations introduced by the chromaticity correcting sextupoles. We also report on our two-beam experience.
