Subject: New to list

Hi my name is Giuseppe and I am new to your list.  Actually I'm new to BBC 
computers as well.  

I'm planning on getting a hold of a BBC system very soon, but had a couple of 
questions.

My ultimate goal is to find and run a specific MIDI program.  The software 
was produced around 1985 by a company named U-Music Software and the actual 
program was called the (UMI-2B) and was designed to run on a BBC B.  I 
believe the software package consisted of a couple of disks and an external 
MIDI interface box.

Has anyone on this list heard of this program or know where I might be able 
to 
get a copy?

I am planning on getting a Master 128 to run this program, is this a good 
choice? 
 I read somewhere that the Master series had problems running BBC B 
applications and something about a problem with the internal memory backup 
battery blowing up.

Any info would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks
Giuseppe
