I want to use this to connect the serial port on a SUN workstation to some MIDI instruments. Has anybody out there heard of such a creature? Yes, but. I've had some luck with putting an amiga interface, (check the pinouts before buying, there are several types that use amiga only signals), and hacking the speed table in the tty device driver. I haven't spent much time on this yet so I'm not real sure how solid it really is. My goal was to build a streams device driver over midi but other things like an impending wedding are eating my time instead. The doc that comes with Tim Thompson's Keynote (from the at&t toolchest) mentions another serial to midi device but I know nothing else about it.
