I also picked up o' these things about a year ago. it's stuffed in a draw
and I always thought it might make a real interesting controller. I'm not in
a position to do anything with it just yet but I'd be interested in any
information. I'm led to believe that these things are commonly interfaced to
Linux systems and that there is plenty of info out there on doing this. But
that's not much use to me. I wanna hook it to a DOS box or a dedicated MIDI
interface. I don't even know how these things work yet but should someone
know where suitable info could be found I'd be most interested.

Thanks in advance.

be absolutely Icebox.
