I'm interested in this too, although I want to hook it up to my
HP9000s370 (33Mhz 68030) running HPUX...

Can serial lines support midi rates?

Alternately, I might just go ahead and build the interface hardware
for the internal bus and write a device driver. Anybody have any
references for "build your own" midi-interfaces? (schematics for the
ibm pc will do, i can translate...).
