Then explain to me why my MPU-401 card (original card, not a clone) will not
work in my Tandy 1000A or a freinds 1000?  And why it would not work in a TL
when I tried it, on the whim that I could get a computer to use for Midi
besides my Coco??? (the TL was on sale at our bookstore for $650... they still
haven't sold it...)

This card works in my Kaypro at work and in a model 30... but will not work
in Tandy's... it's probably my sorest point with Tandy!
