I've done that before, but what I mean is, I'd like to link to a copy on
the web. This is a hyperlink essay for the magazine IDEA, published in
India. The essay makes several references to earlier work during the
computer's transition from toy to audio workstation.

It turns out that almost none of my early computer music material done on
the CoCo and Model I are actually referenced online, and none with
examples. I had just hoped that Quaver, which offered polyphonic voices
that actually could overlap (not start/stop) plus waveform creation &
modification and FFT, was in evidence somewhere. The entire program and
supporting article was published in my "Custom Color" column, and the
42-page documentation (which I have and will scan and publish if nobody
else has it) came from Green Mountain Micro.

I was looking for some surviving musical examples (which I don't have) or a
copy that might run successfully on one of the emulators. The original (and
I'm seriously working from memory here!) had to disable all interrupts
while the music was playing because of the overlapping voices, so I'm not
sure it was compatible with disk systems (which I never used).

See my note in response to Steve for more. Any help is welcome!
