Could anyone give me a pointer as to how this could be done? 1. Would it need one ST used as a server to the rest? 2. Should I use the MIDI port as there should be a through connection? 3. I wouldn't mind making a simple bypass circuit for the serial port, this would require a simple interrupt programme that checked the serial port to see whether the computer should take the message on the serial port or should let it through to the next ST (This is beginning to sound like a LAN!!!) Anyhow you get the idea advaTHANKSnce Robin
