You might well be mad as well, I can't comment
(although I do believe
that many people on classiccmp are at least mildly eccentric :-))
I agree. The diversity of the posters to this list is its best quality,
IMHO ;>)
I can't really recomend damaging old hardware...
I have qualms about this as well.
Really mad idea.... Take a classic computer, add a
31.25kbpx current loop
serial interface, link it up to all sorts of old hardware (printers, disk
drives, tape drives, etc), and have a device that takes Midi commands and
gets that old hardware to make interesting sounds...
Brilliant idea, Tony. I have a classic ISA MIDI board, drivers and
software. Together they can control 64 MIDI channels. I wonder if I could
control some devices directly with MIDI data?
Thanks again for the great suggestions and help.
