Peter Gannon himself has told us on these forums that he develops the Windows versions on a Macbook, using one of the Windows emulators. Parallels is the one, if my memory serves me.
And the Windows version of BB has ALL the bells and whistles.
To the best of my knowledge, PG Music never released a BIAB version that would run on FORTRAN, LOGO, CPM or BASIC operating systems; all popular operating systems before IBM made dos a standard. I couldn't consider the program until after I purchased a pc XT clone using DRDOS (Digital Research Dos Operating System).
By the way, did you forget to connect the speakers? I didn't hear any sound from your video.
I did like the icons used during the "building keyboard & Bass" and "building drums" loading phases. I'd like to see them used again.

Hey young whippersnappers, unless you once ran Band in a Box on an ATARI, you are new to the game too...
We've come a looong way, baby!

You flashed me back in time when I first started on the Atari. Back then I was working as a Atari Tech and we were the only computer on the block with built in MIDI ports. I got rid of all the Atari stuff back in the 90's. It is amazing to see how far we have come!!! Thanks for the reminder.

Just to keep the historical record straight, FORTRAN (Formula Translation), LOGO, and BASIC (Beginners' All-purpose Symbolic Instruction Code) were programming languages, not operating systems. CP/M (Control Program for Microcomputers), DR-DOS, and Microsoft's DOS were true operating systems. World of difference.
