Summary: What's all this fuss about built-in MIDI?


	I don't know why all you folks out there are so
impressed by the ST's "built-in MIDI."  A MIDI port is just
a serial port; you can convert any RS-232C port into a MIDI
port with a couple of MIDI jacks and a few wires.  MIDI adapters
are available for the 'miga for $50, and that includes MIDI
out and MIDI in, plus a switch to use the serial port normally
instead.  If you don't want to spend $50, you can cable it
yourself for under $10 (and a little soldering work.)
