  I've recently been having a few problems with the Acorn MIDI interface.
The version I have was originally intended for use under the Arthur v1.2
OS and the MIDI Module reports as being version 2.00 (1987). Would I be
correct in assuming that this interface is not compatible with RISC OS ?
If so is it possible to obtain an upgrade - of either the module, i/f, or
both ?

  As an example of one of the problems : 

  If I employ the example given in the manual, 

  SYS "MIDI_SoundEnable",1        (this enables the archimedes sound
                                   system to echo any notes played by
                                   the attached MIDI keyboard)

  I find that by pressing one of the function buttons on the keyboard
  causes this "echo" facility to die, and any further contact between
  computer and MIDI keyboard is lost until both are reset. 
                                                            
  Armadeus has a MIDI option which refuses to work until this "echo"
  procedure is installed before it's use, but again fails as soon as
  a function button is pressed. 

  Any ideas ?

  Hardware details :

   o         Archimedes A310, single floppy, 1 MByte.
   o         MIDI Keyboard PortaSound  PSS-480.
   o         Acorn MIDI Interface, with MIDI Module version 2.00 (1987).
