I have done some MIDI programming on the Atari. The Atari had the MIDI interface on board, and the chip was very simple to address. And you could easily use very accurate interrupts to do the scheduling. And it not only played flawlessly without falling over, but even falling over, literaly. I once stepped on a cable while performing on stage, the atari fell down from the table, and played on without a glitch :-) maarten
