We are looking at using the midi port between two STs. The speed of the midi
port does make the midi less than fantastic for a network. However, what
we really want is a way to get at files on a ST from another ST. How we
are planning is to use UUCP software to get files. It will not be as
fast as an ethernet connection, but for the price of midi cables and
some software, we have easy access to files on two systems.
 
Something else we are looking at is using minix to distribute the operating
system over the two STs. Minix was designed to be easily implemented
as a distributed os, and Amoeba, software to do rpc, is available for
the PC version of minix. Perhaps a little work would let us use the midi
port to tie STs into one system. (* perhaps not :-) *)
