DMCS uses a 4-plane custom screen, which slows down the Amiga enough
(see Matt's timing stats of a few months back) that the MIDI data
coming in gets lost, DMCS gets confused, a buffer overflows someplace,
and BOOM ... guru.

I wonder if EA did any beta testing?  You can't use MIDI-in with DMCS.
If DMCS were a 3-plane screen, all would be fine.

PS I don't have DMCS, since I need MIDI-in capability.  The above
information comes from Golden Hawk Technology, makers of the MIDI Gold
interface.
