Moog more on-topic

I certainly do not want to propagate any more off-topic stuff, so maybe e-mail would be mo bettah. Having said that: The Model III that I have was used primarily for R2D2, some of the ancillary robot, droid and creature noises, and a lot of the tracks for the Alien Roadhouse Band, etc., etc. Thus I was told by the previous owner, and corroborated by one of the editors who worked on the pic. Csound *is* in the digital domain, but it's output needs to be made into a voltage somewhere; the early PDP11 versions used the DACs of the day... in fact MUSIC IV was used entirely offline, one coded the program, punched cards, waited until the (lowest-priority) job was run [to tape], the the tape(s) were taken to another facility to be rendered through DACs to am analog recording. *Then* you debugged... Zane, I would like very much to have an (archival only, honest!) CD copy of the Hyman recording. BACK ON TOPIC PART: I would love to locate some 70a vintage DACS, prferably standalone boxes, or more DAC cards for my MINC. I am trying to consolidate all the info/software/hardware I can around the DEC Mini line and music. I have a wonderful picture of a PDP-5 system running a music notation and translation interface for MUSIC IV at Bell Labs in the late 60s. It then sent code to an IBM 7094, which output a tape to another machine, referred to only as a "PB 250 Computer" [Pitney Bowes?] [Packard Bell?] which acted as the translator and DAC. I have soundsheets in the book of music realized on this machine, and I'll put them up on my FTP site any day now... (Thanks to Marvin, from whom I stole the book) Damn, drifting off topic again... sigh. I guess I should output a list of my collection.... Nah, too bleedin' hot right now. Cheers to all John
