Exploring The God Computer

 I'm becoming more familiar with Human68k.  I've been tinkering with the following:

• Mounting a SCSI MO drive
• Format and write floppy images (.xdf)
• Install various audio drivers to play music via MMDSP

Next up I'd like to tweak the startup files to reduce manual commands needed for the above.  I'm also vetting the list of installed games on the V4 image to figure out what is broken, and what I don't plan to ever play so I can slim the size down.

During my testing of games, I've noticed quite a few with MIDI support will leave hanging / stuck tones upon exiting / rebooting.  This happens across multiple sound modules so it seems to be software related.  As of now, the only way to stop this behavior is power cycling the module in use.  Which is of course, extremely annoying...
