Just a small question to whoever is using UAE with something attached to the serial port...

I still use an Amiga, next to a PC  to do some audio work, problem is it's very noisy, not good in an audio studio. Would I be able to run Music X on a laptop and use my serial midi interface with it in a way that is stable? Especially that last bit is really important. MusicX NEVER crashes here, and I would like to keep it that way :-)

thanks...

Oh, forgot something :-)

And how about parallel port samples?

And yes, I consider that a professional tool :-)
