Re: WANTED: Programmer for comm stuff

Probably more like in a 7-bit transmition w/8-bit network sending each 
bit of the 8TH byte in the high bits of the first 7.  If someone wrote a 
protocall like this, you 2400 people could get 270 CPS instead of 240 in 
text mode.

In the DOC example, all that is, are a buffer assigned to hold whatever 
instrument you want.  Example 4-track module.  $4000 (16.3K) per 
instrument.  Just keep the DOC looping over that RAM space until the 
sample is done, and make sure your program can swap the data before the 
sample rate eats up the buffer.  The sound tools work like this, but I 
think MZ uses a custom routine.

That 7-bit routine has been floating around in my head for a while.  I'm 
surprised that no one has tried anything like that.  Anyone know about 
something like this?

Oh Ye.
Forgive my math above, but $4000 = 16384 = 16K.  64K DOC RAM/4 = 
$010000/$4 = $4000.  Sorry bout that.  Can you see where the prob be in 
8-track modules.  You eat up all the CPU time swapping GS RAM w/DOC RAM.
