The network uses the MIDI port to allow disk sharing between
two ST's that are both running MX2NET. The remote
drives can be used just like your local drives but they will of
course be slower because of the transfer of the data through the
MIDI ports.
The remote drives are defined in the MX2NET.INF file. This is a
ascii file with the drive parameters all on one line. For example
if you have cfr,dgr,eow in your file.

remote local read write
drive drive access access
You will be able to access remote drive C as your local drive F
read-only. Remote drive D will be G and remote drive E will be O
with write access. If you wish to change the drives simply edit
the MX2NET.INF file, reboot your ST and rerun the MX2NET.PRG.
A max of 14 drives can be defined with P being the highest.
Be sure to cross connect the midi cables ie... the MIDI out to
the MIDI in on the other ST and vice verse.
midi in ___ ___ midi in
ST 1 \/ ST 2
midi out ___/\___ midi out
The MX2NET.PRG is a standalone network driver that runs from
the DESKTOP or another GEM program. It should NOT be installed
in an AUTO folder.
