BUT the problem with the MMU is that it won't work in the SAM's

True, which is the aim for version 2.0. The moment I get enough spare

*grins* It'll play WAV and AU files, but I'm not sure about Etracker... 
it seems like a waste of processor time to me.

But then, maybe I'm just getting jaded in my old age.
