#VGA IFF incompatible?
Message #81501
I had gotten the impression (apparently incorrect) from people who had worked with the format that it was missing the surrounding FORM declarations and only had the various chunks. I guess I'm wrong on that. If that is the only difference, then it *is* a valid IFF file, and it's…
There is, I believe, a Music X to Midi File Format (MFF) converter, and a MFF to SMUS converter available in various libraries. (I think the first one is here in the Microillusions library, and the second is either over in AmigaArts, LIB 8, or in the MIDI forum itself,…

#AMax 'n' hard drives
Message #78847
The problem with hard drive access under A-Max isn't a particularly easy one to solve. The main obstacle is that you need to write a driver for all the various hard disk boards on the Amiga to interface with them. (On the Mac, they don't have to worry about such…
