Wish we could get Chen and Mako together and then perhaps we could get
some improvement in MMTTY.  I have now tried Chen's software on my
MacBook and it really performs and I see why he doesn't use his Hal
ST-8000 much anymore.  It would also let
me move from Writelog to N1MM which doesn't support the above hardware.
