 >     The OS9\6809 L2 Play V5.0 command allows a raw playing of the Atari
 >(and maybe Amiga?) .MOD files.  I downloaded 3 zipped .MOD files from my

The MODule format was created on the Amiga, and has since gone over to
Atari, Mac, PC, MM/1, etc.  Still, it's originally an Amiga protocol.

Now a friend of mine in Ohio SWORE to me that he had a MOD player for RS-DOS
and he even played something to me over the phone - it was recognizeable but
scratchy which made me believe it was indeed a MOD player runnin' in 6-bits
(after all, they have 'em for the old mono 8-bit sound cards for PCs).  I
didn't follow through and try to get it from him, and have not spoken with
him in a long time...so...  Anyone heard of it?

Also...I have a MOD player on the CDTV (Amiga 500) I have and it's only 5K.
It even supports alot of effects that the MM/1 mod player doesn't.  So,
apparently there really isn't much to a MOD player - our problem would be
taking the format (designed to be sent to FOUR 8-bit DACs) and making it run
on a 6-bit OR two 8-bits (like the PCs, MACs, etc. do) using an Orch-90.
Unfortunately, I have no knowledge of MOD format.  ('C' players are
available, though...)
