Yeah - previously, I'd uploaded that PDF to the MPC4000 YahooGroup file area,
but the last time I updated it (for OS 1.70),
I couldn't get it to re-upload without timing out,
so it's not online anymore :-/
Maybe I'll put it on my own site.
Well like I said, I'd be happy to work on the MPC4000 docs. I would suspect Steve Howell of HollowSun might well contribute too.
And I'm sure you'll find enough programmers who be keen to work on it.
Really, this OS is crying out for an Open Source approach.
Since its launch in 2002, the MPC4000 OS's have been PLAGUED by LUDICROUS bugs and oversights, which users spotted within HOURS of their release.
With an open source development model, the kind of testing and transparency that's possible would surely put an end to this kind of crap.
I think it might be an idea to contact
http://www.hollowsun.com
since Steve Howell there has obviously some contact with Akai
(or did have, when he wrote the Ak.Sys documentation)
Unless Akai would hand over the source and agree to the GPL,
obviously the project can't even begin.
