(Would anyone curious please ask off list.) Would a board built to be a MIDI controller suffice? One of the composers who specializes in TV music basically constructed a whole system for a TV show about thirty years ago. Eventually he switched to a Mac....... Well, I have a PRO-380. But I don't have any sound on mine... I just know that there was at least the TMS system, which interfaced to the telephones. It could also produce general sounds, if I remember right. There might have been some other sound system as well, but I would have to check. Johnny ----- Gregg C Levine gregg.drwho8 at gmail.com "This signature fought the Time Wars, time and again."

Of course... :-( Anyway, I just realized/remembered that I'm not sure if the PRO was ever mentioned in the context of PDP-11 with graphics and sound. The PRO obviously always have grahpics. But there was also a sound option to it, which could interface with telephone systems. Not sure exactly how capable it was, but I have some blurb in a handbook somewhere. Johnny
