Thanks for the info, I think I will just have to put together a cheap 486 system for the MIDI work then :( I really want to get my home system moved over so I can start on a couple of other projects. I'm going to have to look at the MIDI software thing again though. I wonder how well some of the DOS apps would work under doscmd or such. Or how well the Windoz 3.1 softare would work under WABI for linux. -Sean ---------------------------------------------------------------------- Sean J.
