Sometime in July I will be buying a microcomputer system. I think that
the ST sounds like my best bet (I want to spend about $1000). I have an
important question:

I have heard that there is a problem with the real time clock for the ST
such that MIDI programs can miss 1/60th of a second, thus screwing up.
MIDI is a concern of mine, so this is important.

In general: I like to write in low level C/assembler, so any info on
this would also be helpful. I would be interested in hearing about any
hardware features people liked/disliked. Should I wait for this
upcoming "MegaST"?

Thanks.
