[Reposting; this seems not to have made it out]

The goal is digital music synthesis via a general-purpose
processor, in non-real time.

The resources are Un*x System III software and Multibus output;
what software and hardware fill the gaps?

Clearly, a Multibus DAC is needed.  Who makes these, how much to they cost?

Software to convert from high-level score to sound files is needed.
The only system I've used is Music-11, from the MIT EMS.  
[EMS folk:  How portable is it?]  It's fairly expensive; are there others? 

Thanks in advance for any help finding these pieces.
