Tim -
A fellow on the OS9 Forum on Compuserve, John Shortess, has been
developing a MIDI driver for the Speech Systems' Coco Midi II
interface card (a 6850 in a cartridge that goes into the Multipak). I
believe he's gotten most of the bugs shaken out, and is getting ready
to release an initial version. Questions still exist on whether or not
this will be a dual mode driver (mode a: stupid byte reading; mode b:
read & timestamp incoming data [i.e. sequencer support, etc.]). James
Jones should be able to keep you apprised of when it becomes available
(as he's usually in the wings there on the forum).
Right now there is a public domain support package for the Casio
keyboards from Richard Johnson. He went the route of the Atari ST when
the coco3 took so long to materialize, but this tool runs under LI o9r
LII and uses the same Coco Midi II hardware. It's a suite of three
tools - Czpatch, Czbank, and Czprint. These are part of a patch
librarian/editor group that allow creation and upload/download of
patch data to/from a CZ class synth. Pretty useful (for me anyway). I
have a little LI system (coco) in the living room dedicated to the
task.
I had hear earlier that Mware had a bunch of closet MIDI enthusiasts..
I think that was when Dave Kaleita was developing the SS-50 interface
for the Roland MPU-401.
In any case, keep in touch. OS9 & MIDI looks like it's going to be a
fun combination!
