They will give you all sorts of pauses during output of more than a line or so. I thought that the chord-s mode went back quite a while. I would check into getting your rom upgraded if you're going to use the bns as a general purpose synth. Of course, I'd also recommend you get a real synth like a DoubleTalk or the like.

(potentially silly question, I know!) No, the boot prompt I am talking about is what you get when you first place the floppy in the drive and boot the system. All of the distributions will whir for a while and then stop, that's the boot prompt. You usually hit enter or enter text or graphics or something depending on the distribution. Kirk
