I tried serching 'serial' and 'midi', to find some resources... We have at least one product to convert a serial port to a midi port and vice versa: http://www.midi-classics.com/p2615.htm has one midi output and one input, although our driver is not capable to receive midi signal yet. I see Midiman has some cool interfaces. Have a look at: http://www.midiman.net/ for the list of the products. They even have one for USB!(anyone wanna try? ;-) Seigo TANIMURA |M2, Nakagawa Lab, Dept of Electronics & CS =========================|Faculty of Engineering, Yokohama National Univ Powered by SIEMENS, |http://www.naklab.dnj.ynu.ac.jp/~tanimura/ FreeBSD 4.0-CURRENT |http://www.sakura.ne.jp/~tcarrot/ (10th Apr 1999) & muesli.|tanimura@naklab.dnj.ynu.ac.jp tcarrot@sakuramail.com To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-hackers" in the body of the message
