Hi there,

We have had a couple of problems reported with the current serial MIDI
interface that is installed in Jaguar...
In a not-too-distant future update of Jaguar we are planning on removing
this interface from the system, firstly, because of those problems and
of
course, because we are not planning on fixing them.
We do not believe that this will effect anyone, because the way it is
at the
moment it is unusable anyway.
True it's unusable - but no one effected? i.e., the future
When considering this, and looking at the risk/reward for us to
continue to
maintain this, we decided that it made little sense for us to continue
to
spend what little time we do spend on (which obviously wasn't enough!),
particularly given that there are other areas where our time is better
spent.
That said, however, we still appreciate the value of this for some
products
and developers. So, we are planning on making this code available for
developers to use as part of the CoreAudio SDK - with all the usual
disclaimers about code in the SDK - use it at your own risk, and so
forth.
Can I humbly suggest that instead of removing it, make it open source
and so allow its continued development with patches making their way to
the main source tree... There seems to be some willing to help out.
We'll make this available in the next couple of weeks as we plan on
rev-ing
the SDK shortly. If anyone has a more pressing deadline they need to
meet,
they should ping me (off list is fine and preferred) and we can talk
about
that...
Thanks
Bill
with regards,
