Re: TI-H: MIDI


Right... Because MIDI would require hooking your calculator up to a MIDI
synthesizer - either a keyboard, or a soundcard. The first one would wipe out
most the portability aspects of the calculator. ;)

What _would_ be required for the latter? Would it be easy to build a small
MIDI box? I would figure it would be much more complicated - at least looking
at a meg or so ROM to hold the sounds - and cost more than the SID solution.
(The SID sure was amazing in it's day. Maybe it will be again...)
