Just as an example, not an endorsement: From Skyles Electric Works: MIDI IN, 2 MIDI OUT, and MIDI THRU for the Amiga. $49.95 (Amiga 500 and 1000) $59.95 (Amiga 2000) It plugs into the RS-232 port. I think Mimetics also has a MIDI Interface with similar features and price. Overall, I feel that the Amiga is by far a better computer, and that the 500 should settle and objections as to the price. Of course, that's only my opinion, unlike the "fact" that the ST has more support. :-) >David Paulsen >...uunet.UU.NET!nuchat!seven >(713) 480-0114 > >"Take a deep breath upon impact.
