I have a serial MIDI interface, too, which is from my old Amiga
times, and I would like to use it on my (forthcoming) Mac. But there
will most probably be a problem with the data rate which must be
31250 bps according to MIDI specifications (correct me if I'm wrong
here). The Amiga's UARTs were able to handle this special rate;
perhaps someone on this list knowing about a Mac's serial
capabilities could tell us about possible data rates?
Mac serial ports need an external clock to do the MIDI data rate.
Typically this can be 500 kHz, 1 MHz or 2 MHz (there's a programmable
divider in the SCC).
