NOTATOR currently does NOT work with 
either the moniterm nor with Jim ALlen's 
accelerator.  

The Moniterm support will take about two weeks of 
software work (according to the US national rep)..

TO work with the Turbo16 accelerator or with the TT,
a change in the timing of the read of the dongle has
to be implemented... another software change.

Regarding the accelerator:  I am told that there
is a German board that does work with NOTATOR.. however,
the cache has to be disabled.. and as a result, there are
no real noticeable improvements in scrolling ..

However, as the update to NOTATOR will include a full page
preview among other things.. it would be nice to have
MONITERM support.  As it is now, one needs to do a lot
of verticle scrolling when viewing and editing more than
6 tracks.  This gets very time consuming.

POINT:  THe US rep Mikhail Graham tells me that C-LAB won't
support the MONITERM unless they get a few hundred calls
requesting it.  SO far there has been few.  So, if any of you
NOTATOR users are simply waiting for MONITERM support.. it won't
be there unless we call in our request. 

Here's the name and number of the C-LAB rep.  A very nice guy
i might add:

	
              Mikhail Graham
              1-916-265-6484

He's always receptive to ideas and encourages users to make
suggestions for improving the already awesome NOTATOR.
