It's a conspiracy: Atari does not *want* us to use the MIDI port at any speed other than MIDI speed.

File transfer isn't too gawd-awful, but I'd sure hate to load a BIG program, like Timework's DTP, off of such a network. Once again, the holy grail slips away into the mist. Maybe the parallel port - anyone got an electronic engineer laying around they can loan me for a year or two? :-) :-) -- "The whole problem with the world is that fools and fanatics are always so certain of themselves, but wiser people so full of doubts." - Bertrand Russell "How come he didn't put `I think' at the end of it?" - James P.
