A long time ago I tried different things. People from the Debian community helped me to try very exotic things. > i.e. Does it work in another computer?

I learned to use another mouse ;) and worked on tuning my Linuxes to cause zero jitter for external MIDI. This is possible and I don't know any modern OS excepted of Linux, where this is possible. Beside Linux only old computers like the C64 and the Atari ST are able to provide this, but those computers aren't multi task computers, so for the C64 for example, you can SEI ;IRQ off or do simple checks like LDA HARDWARE_REGISTER LSR ... RTS to get data directly from the interface. You can't do this kind of hard real-time on modern computers. Anyway, JACK2 has a nice option to enable hard MIDI real-time, since some wizard(s) did a very good job. I don't waste time with the mouse, I need the time to set up much more important things. IMO Linux is the best choice for my needs, but it cause a lot of problems regarding to basics like the graphics and other hardware, e.g. a simple old faithful mouse. - Ralf -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-user-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of "unsubscribe".
