hi, as this is my first post, think i'll introduce myself ... my name is MR G, i upgraded to the sam from the zx spectrum way back when, had much fun, then later boxed it up and left it on top of a cupboard for several years ;)
until recently that is ... i play with a band called skinflowers (www.skinflowers.co.uk) and we use an old atari st onstage to dump SYSEX info to our midi gear ... i remembered that my old sam also had midi ports and dug it out. all working except for the disk drive, and i've just noticed that someone on this list has been building spare ones ... expect an order soon ;) anyway, the whole "see what retro home computing gear skinflowers are using now" thing has turned into a bit of a schtick for us, people seem to be getting kicks out of it, and i'd love to use the sam. if anything cos i'm just more fond of it than the atari ;) ... re: software tho, i'm stuck. so i thought i'd check with you peoples ... anyone ever used a sam for midi SYSEX dumps? what software do i need? all i need is something that sends and receives data, tho if that's part of some sequencing or something, thats cool. thanks, MR G __________________________________________________ Do You Yahoo!?
