- Anyone know if I can get a podule ROM upgraded? I have an Acorn Podule
- with 1MHz bus, user port and Midi Expansion. What I'm after is the MIDI
- Podule Module, if you know what I mean. *help modules says:
- I/O Podule 1.06 (15 Sep 1987)
- MIDI podule 2.00 (17 Dec 1987)
-
- but some software I have just received seems to require MIDI
- Podule version 3.
-
- Does anyone know what's changed between version 2 and version 3?
-
- On a ever-so-slightly different note, the abovementioned Podule (that's what
- it was called when I bought it!) doesn't want to fit nicely in my A5000. It
- fitted fine in the old A440, but now wither the backplane is in the wrong
- place, or the whole motherboard assembly is misplaced within the box, or the
- Official Dimensions have changed. The connector makes contact sufficiently
- to enable the computer to recognize and use the ROMS but I can't get a beep
- out of the MIDI. Anyone else have this problem? Any solutions, other than
- ones involving hacksaws?
