	A friend of mine just got his 401 and it is an amazing product.
He bought it through Sam Ash who didn't have the interface card for his
Sperry-pc yet but he bought the 401 itself. The documentation is a bit heavy,
as discussed in some recent postings, but I wouldn't have it any other way.
The wealth of information it has is astounding, and anyone who takes the time
to plod through it (start with the glossary!) can become quite a MIDI wizard. 
It can be memory or I/O mapped, and you can put it in 'UART' mode to use it
as a generic MIDI interface. Anyone out there had any luck writing code for
it yet? A more in depth review will follow when the interface card arrives.


I was just a broken head.
I saw a world that others plundered.
Now I stumble through the garbage.
Slide and tumble.
Slide and stumble.
