I'm still in the market for a computer (thanks to all who responded to my last post). I was wondering if a IIsi is enough for MIDI applications. Talking to some apple people, their opinion is that a IIsi is limiting in that it's only got one NuBus slot. Is this the case, and if it is is there any way around it that's cost effective (if the price approaches that of a IIci, might as well go for that, right? - now, can anyone spare $5k?) -Joel janti@athena.arc.nasa.gov

I was wondering if a IIsi is enough for MIDI applications. The IIsi is more than fast enough for MIDI applications. The only problem you may encounter is when using the IIsi with System 6.0.7. Apparently the sound manager on this system could create problems with certain combinations of applications. Just use System 7, as most programs are being updated. If you're worrying about expansion, 2nd wave makes expansion chassis for the IIsi. Anyway a Sample Cell card will cost you well over $1000 so you may not be needing that many slots :-) Aron_Nelson@cup.portal.com
