I recently installed a program that uses GDOS or AMCGDOS. When I did this, some of my midi programs are slowing down there output to my midi instruments. I think that only midi programs, that are using atari's midi out TOS call (as i remember it Midiws() ), are slowing down there output. Is this because there are some additional functions added by GDOS/ AMCGDOS and the ST must search into a table to lookup some routines, also the ones in the ROMS? If this is the clue, why can't GDOS bypass the default routines ,which are normally in ROM, immediately and uses the GDOS functions afterward? It seems to me that GDOS first looks if there is a GDOS function called and then passes to the default ROM functions if a not GDOS call is called. Is there a GDOS version available, which hasn't this problem? Any suggestions out there? Thanks in advance. Geert. ------------------------------------------------------------------------ Geert W.T.
