Hi Guys and Gals! WELL, I'm the guy who posted the problems I've had in performing MIDI realtime input that;s 100.0000% accurate... From the replies I've received, it has become apparent that the entire level 6 interrupt handler must be re-written in order to accomplish accurate realtime MIDI recording. I've build a prototype shell that allows *MY* code to execute when a level 6 interrupt is encountered. I'm using the XBIOS function MFPINT to replace the standard interrupt handler. BUT(!) How can I find out what the original vector is? It seems that MFPINT returns NOTHING! Boy I'm glad I didn't quit DIGITAL to persue full-time MIDI software development for the Atari platform... Don't be fooled by claims that XBIOS and BIOS handles MIDI for you. It does, but not under heavy (professional) scenarios. _John_ P.S. I've been leary of becoming a registered Atari developer, since I've invested ~$10,000 in equipment to persue music software development. Paying a fee to the computer manufacturer in order circumvent a problem (IN MY OPINION) that is inherent in the system software, supposedly on "this computer is made for music" to me seems quite unrealistic.
