Recently, you asked for help with interfaces for the IBM and
programming the DSS-1:


I have an original MPU-401 with an IPC interface. I have also
used several of the MPU-401 interfaces on the market. I would
suggest any of the MPU-401 compatible interfaces. My personal
preference would be the voyetra v-4000. This is because it is
a good low-cost interface that allows changing of the interrupt
and address. Typical price $120-140 US. I would suggest that
you stick with MPU-401 compatible interfaces. Almost all of the
software on the IBM is written for the 401. When you finally
get your interface and start programming, give me a shout. I
have done some stuff with the DSS-1 that might help you get started.
