Hi!
This is my first posting, so let me know if I'm doing something wrong.
I'm trying to find an RS-232 to MIDI interface to connect to the 
Silicon Graphics Personal Iris workstations here in the graphics
research lab. Ultimately we want to be able to play back MIDI
sequences from within our animation software. The IBM interfaces
(MPU - 401 ?) don't use RS-232 because the baud rate is too slow on
PCs. (9600 baud). So, if I can't find one, I'll have to build one,
which isn't too hard, just a time-conusming drag. Has anyone heard
of such a thing? Has anyone else tried to find one? Would anyone
else want one if they could find one?
I check this group regularly, so post answers here, if you think
someone else might be interested, or try e-mail to:
troy@cs.sfu.ca
Thanks!
