Acorn, what CPU did it have again? :)

 Anyway I now have restored the m68k-atari crosscompiler from tape and made
a little /dev/midi <-> /dev/modem2 connection program.  Well, it works!
Now, does anyone know a sequencer program that has a tick display and
that can record one track while playing back another?  rosegarden can only
do one thing at a time...

 Oh and i had to patch this to get my kernel to build:

 (the box has no sound card so these files were not compiled before.)

 If anyone wants the program i use on the atari mail me, it is only
111 lines of C...

 Happy MIDI'ing,
