Off topic: Info about Artic Transport needed

[plogan at ispwest.com]

Hi all,

      I have procured a summer job to last for three months. 
However, I cannot begin until I figure out why the dos/linux 
computer I've borrowed will not talk.  The synthesizer is a 
Transport but very different from the one I used to use.

      When I first plugged it in it gave the name and version, 
quickly became speeded up Donald Duck speech and then quit.  Now 
it won't make a sound.  I tried adding a null modemadapter to the 
serrial cable with no change.  Tried a search but found a site 
under construction which fails to deliver much of the information 
it promises.

      I kind of assume the computer itlsf and lilo are fine 
though, of course, I can't be sure.

      My Transport had only an combined off/on and volume wheel. 
This one has six keys labeled A through E with no other info 
printed on them.  Doesn't apear to be an on/off switch.  Is there 
a way to reset this device.

      If willing to help please respond off list so that I will 
not be considered a nuissance.    Thanks in advance.
