another quick update, but this time from the Apple Silicon world: bunch of tweaking shows a 10-core M1 MBP is more than capable of emulating an x86 under (inside mac.getutm.app) fast & well enough to communicate bi-directionally with the sampler on WinXP, as well as chopping the audio - although latency is ~500ms đŸ¶ and passing through a class-compliant audio device seems to turn the VM into a 🐱 but still, this is quite game-changing: ARM upgrade path! đŸ–„ïž

naturally i spent several hours trying to get XP running natively on an old MacBook Air. # BootCamp’s not an option not only because the only version of macOS in which it supports XP (for U2SCX driver) is Leopard, and I doubt v much that’ll run on a 2012 MBA, but also ‘cos (TIL đŸ˜©) XP/installer just won’t boot from UEFI. sigh. sooooo
 only certain way to get working with the is old PC hardware with native XP. needs to be small and unobtrusive. let’s check the ‘Bay? result: oooh!
