I had MIDI working on a Radio Shack Color Computer with a 6809 playing
multiple channels to an outboard synth. No problems, esp. considering
that the computer had to emulate a midi port with a bit-banging serial
port. Mine you, that was all the computer was doing :)
But, I still do wonder why with the super CPU speeds, advanced
instruction sets, buckets of memory, cache, fast storage, etc it's
still a challenge to do proper midi or recording on our computers.
