Isn't that how the Fairlight CMI (Computer Musical
Instrument) works?
Only with 6800s instead of 6502/6507? Does anyone on the list have
a CMI?
Something like that... the original CMI certainly has a pair of 6800s... I'd
need to RTFM to remind myself how they interacted.
I have one - an original Mark I CMI, probably my favourite 'small' system,
see:

and

It's in pretty-near perfect shape, and works very nicely! The software they
managed to implement on a pair of 6800s is one of the most truly awesome
hacks I've ever seen. I'll bring it to the next VCF-East... I'm in process
of doing a proper web page about it.
