Brian,

Yeah I'm Grant and my friend and lab partner's name was (is) Greg.  Hes 
sketched that out in a couple of minutes in our final year. I was so 
focused on getting my assigned work done I didn't even pay it much 
attention until years later, and by then PPG was probably already doing 
it (can't remember for sure). For the sequencer he came up with the 
keyboard scanner (and didn't pay any royalties to Emu either ha ha).

I think the Mirage was 6809 ... not sure why I think that, but you could 
"out play the UI" if you get my drift. Bang some chords down and the LED 
task would get left far behind.

What was the 68000 emulator written on?  On a PC?  Or a mainframe? 
Sounds very cool. I still have a fair bit of DOS stuff (8-bit dev 
tools), at least for the micros I was interested in (6502, 68xx, 68k, 8051).
