The Yamaha AN1x Synthesizer mailing list

I picked up this link to a recent article by Paul Lehrman "Bigger
Bytes and Faster Too" on the Opcode users list at Topica. While much of 
the article may be Macintosh specific most of it is relevant to both 
Win & Mac MIDI users.

To summarize, it's an interesting commentary on the potential benefits 
of IEEE-1394 (Firewire, iLink) vs. USB for MIDI and how the advent of 
this protocol, i.e., through Yamaha's non-proprietary mLAN, provides
an opportunity to advance a MIDI v2.0 spec. Whew - that's a mouthful.
The latter half of the article devolves into an anti-Henry J. of Gibson 
rant...not that he doesn't deserve it >:^( 

I hope some of you enjoy reading the piece - I know I did.
