Stephen, somewhere around here (I think at work on the MM/1) I have some docs
stripped from some Amiga source, which give one format of the Tracker MOD
stuff.  (There is no "official" MOD format; there are lots of enhancements and
minor diffs.)

The Amiga can play those files easily because they were created just for the
hardware capabilities of the Amiga... in this case, four DMA audio channels
with hardware looping, volume control, and freq control, merged into two output
channels.  All that has to be simulated on other systems (altho the stereo DMA
on the MM/1 aids some). - kev
