	Hi Alexei. At present, you cannot convert .XM mods to a format 
any Amiga tracker can use ( PT, OctaMED etc. all use variations on the 
standard 4-track format ). However, you can play .XM modules on the 
amiga. It takes a lot of processing power to get decent quality, but with 
a 4000/060 you should have no problems! The program that is capable of 
replaying .XMs is Hippoplayer, though I am not certain, and some other 
trackers may support it now. Look through the music/play directory on the 
Aminet to find Hippoplayer. 

	I do not think the toccata card will be of any use here, but the next
version of OctaMED is going to support it quite heavily. I hope this helps..
