	Hi. I am wanting to get a MIDI interface for my A1000, and was wondering
about a few things. A few years back (1986) there was a public domain circuit
for an A1000 MIDI interface. It uses two IC's (I cant remember which ones, but
one was 14 pin and one was 8 pin), one diode, about eight resistors, and
the plugs and sockets needed. It would cost me about A$25 to build, compared
with A$100 minimum to buy something similar. Anyway, I was wondering if anybody
has build this circuit, and if so have they had any troubles with it?
	Will DMCS be sufficient to take MIDI input and give MIDI output?
	I have heard of AMAS. What does it do exactly, and would I need extra
hardware to use it if I bought it?
	Thanks
	Richard
