    My little project lately has been trying to work with the MIDI port on model 1 Wondermegas. And I had some success tonight!

    This is pretty cool! I wonder though, why did the Wondermega include a MIDI port to begin with?

    Another update! It's playing back MIDI files, but needs some more work overall...

    researching PC-98/X68000 sound drivers
    This is really awesome, IMO!

    As someone who loves 1990s MIDI gear and who's been doing a bit MegaDrive programming in the past, I find this really exciting.
    Thanks a lot for researching this nearly lost piece of the MegaDrive history.
    (I'm really tempted to get back into MD programming now.)
