- Propably can't be done. From what I've seen, Bad Mood is written very
- much like a demo, i.e. it relies very much on the fact that the machine

- fact the the machine will not always be in a known state will slow things
- down even further.

- Let's not wander of in wonder-wonderland imagning things about what can
- be done. I would say that the best bet in getting anything to work at all
- is to use direct hardware accesses to the MIDI interface, it is a well
- documented interface that hasn't changed very much since the ST's so we
- have some pretty good proof it works with not too much work (MidiMaze and
- SubStation).
