What do I need to make use of this - another bit of hardware?[running to get Syntauri manual...] Metatrak supports the Roland TR606 and TR808, Linn and Oberheim DMX. They are connected to the Apple via a special cable to the paddle ports. Unfortunately the Syntauri manual doesn't give a specific pinout, but this shouldn't be that hard to figure out....And the Passport MIDI card had a "drum sync in" RCA jack... Perhaps the later (MIDI) Syntauri used this input.Oooh. I bet that's a rare card, though.
Rare is relative--there were quite a few of them made, and they show up several times a year on eBay.
Specifically, I'd like to see the Passport software at some point in the future. The MIDI bit... well, that'd really interest me ESPECIALLY if it works with drum sync input somehow...
As the music scene moved to MIDI in the mid-1980's, everything migrated that way, and interoperability improved significantly. -michael NadaNet networking for Apple II computers!
