Can someone please tell me how to use the serial MIDI driver? I want to
use the driver with my 2 Opcode Studio 4 MIDI interfaces. I have no clue

Doug Wyatt, where are you? :-)
We're done with 10.2 and thus I am on vacation @ 42028' N, 76030' W ... :-)
The serial MIDI driver is fairly bare-bones. I have to admit to never
having tested it myself, though I have witnessed it working acceptably
with a vanilla standard interface on the author's machine.
Two issues one is likely to encounter in trying to use this driver:
[a] I believe it may not work with 3rd-party cards that replace the modem
with a serial port. When back from vacation I can verify this.
[b] It definitely does not support the multi-cable protocol used by the
MIDI Time Piece and other devices (like the Studio 4) designed to use that
protocol. If there's enough developer interest in help getting drivers
written, I'll help you write drivers for your hardware by writing more
sample code (speaking to the developers on this list).

Tanks Doug for your answer.
You said that It definitely does not support the multi-cable protocol used
by the MIDI Time Piece and other devices (like the Studio 4) designed to use
that protocol.
But you can switch ports in the Studio 4 by just sending F5, port# (1-8,
0=all) so I can't really understand why this is a problem. I once made an
app in 68000 assembly language that communicated with my 2 Studio 4
interfaces that way with a very simple homemade driver and everything worked
perfect. What's the difference between sending regular MIDI bytes or sending
F5, port# ? I can't see any difference at all.
I have more questions but I stop here for a while :-)
Best regards Peter
