Be cool if it supported midi in browser for cubase jungle makin'!

The MIDI support in _all_ the emulators I've seen has been fairly... not-great... overall. I should look again but I remember reading through the source for Aranym around this and being pretty disappointed.

Must... resist... temptation... to write my own

Within seconds I found GFA basic (which I spent endless time programming in as a kid), and got it running. Unfortunately, I can't figure out how type an "=" (equals) character from my Mac laptop.

I switched to using Firefox instead of Chrome and now "=" works! :-) I'm using GFA Basic from https://www.atarimania.com/pgesoft.awp?version=29409

What's with the influx of Atari ST postings lately? I'm surely enjoying it!

Can EstyJS run in monochrome (640 x 400) mode? There were some great games in b&w, like Bolo and Oxyd [0] by Meinolf Amekudzi.

I remember studying the 'Hitchhikers Guide to the BIOS' [1], which was the only piece of documentation I initially had for the ST when it had just come out. If I'm not mistaken, it did ship with a C compiler and assembler.
