Hi,

I tried to write a little basic prog which reads from the RS-232 data coming
from my keyboard through a MIDI interface.

I tried to set the RS-232 at 9600,N,7,1 and something was read.
I then tried to set it at 19200,N,7,1 and something else was read ! (then
I got a crash)

How is that possible ?

I read that MIDI standard allows instruments to output data at a maximum of
31000 bauds. It means, I think, that if the RS-232 works at a maximum speed
of 19200, the MIDI device works as a buffer !

Does anyone know HOW I SHOULD SET RS-232 TO GET THE RIGHT DATA ?
Is it possible to write a simple program to catch dump data in basic or I
should use C ?
