Hi Roger, Yes, that's me I think. I never did any networking stuff with the DISCiPLE - just the multi-level tape loader to disk loader 'conversions'. I was interested in the networking stuff at one point to get two SAMs to each play half of an eight channel mod in time with one SAM acting as master and the other as slave. This could then be futher coolened by adding more SAMs allowing even more channel mods. Note that this never left the thinking stage. Another idea I had, when Nev's hard disc interface was rebuilt to the atom was to let the SAM MOD player preprocess the 8 channel (or more) mod output to hard disc and then play this back at 15.6KHz. Note that this never left the thinking stage. Another idea I had was to compress the samples of very large mods (larger than could fit in memory) since the 10.4KHz output never needed this resolution anyway and so be able to play them back. Regards, Stefan
