Some time ago I had occasion to build a prototype of a MIDI
merger, and developed the code on a //e with 3 MIDI cards.
Apparently the client dropped my code into their commercial
version with hardly any changes.

Later on I developed an interface between an electronic 
instrument and a new accessory which hadn't been built yet. 
I simulated the new part with an Apple //e and adapted 4 parallel 
printer cards to support 32 bits of parallel i/o. The Apple was the 
easiest machine to do this with -- it started out as a hacker's 
platform and is still unsurpassed (IMO of course!)
