Mac OS emulation on PC

[Kirk]

Glad to hear you like it. Networking works fine for me both
with the internet and with Appleshare.

The only reports of midi working in a Mac emulator that I could
find were on the Amiga. Both printing on the parallel port and
external modems on the serial port work in Basilisk II, so I
 can't help but think it should be easy to make a dual platform
serial (or parallel maybe) midi interface work. My VL-70m
has such an interface in it but it has a switch for mac/pc. I have
thought about finding out what needs to be done on a theoretical
level and then giving that info to the Basilisk II programmers, but
haven't got around to it. It seems they don't personally have any
interest in midi, but maybe this would inspire them.
