Hi.  I read this group infrequently as I will be programming a
multimedia application (beginning soon) on a PS2 with the (new?)
m-motion card (I guess it's the successor to InfoWindows?).  It would
seem that 50- 60% of you are actually programmers.

To those programmers in the audience:  I would like to use Turbo Pascal
(version 5, 5.5 or 6) but the distribution disk only comes with C and
Assembler code examples.  Although the manual is actually fairly
specific about the functions available and how they are used, I still
wonder, How does one access the board (Port[]? An Interrupt?, ???)?--any
experiences would be helpful.

Should I start learning Assembler?

Email me if you'd like a summary--if there is much response, I'll post
it.

Thanks.
