    Ah. This suggests that I won't ever me able to use a MIDI-Manager-version
    of Performer without more RAM. Performer is too big for a 1 Meg Mac under
    MultiFinder, so I can't run this PatchBay (or the DA) and then sign in
    Performer? Or can I?
       Does anybody know if MOTU are going to provide an upgrade, anyway?

I just talked to MOTU; they are not going to commit to supporting the MIDI
manager at all at this time, but will wait for a full (non-beta) release
from Apple before even considering it :-(
