The speed of the midi port does make the midi less than fantastic for a network. However, what we really want is a way to get at files on a ST from another ST. How we are planning is to use UUCP software to get files. It will not be as fast as an ethernet connection, but for the price of midi cables and some software, we have easy access to files on two systems. Something else we are looking at is using minix to distribute the operating system over the two STs. Minix was designed to be easily implemented as a distributed os, and Amoeba, software to do rpc, is available for the PC version of minix. Perhaps a little work would let us use the midi port to tie STs into one system. (* perhaps not :-) *) Gary UUCP: ggf@js.uucp uunet!unisoft!nud!js!ggf BIX: ggf jsbbs: ggf (* (602) 276 6102 *)
