DISCLAIMER!

I ACCEPT NO LIABILITY FOR .....Read here all the usual stuff.

Description:

This archive contains a MIDI driver which should be copied to your
DEVS:midi drawer to work. It looks for two serial ports (COM1,
COM2) on the GG2 Bus+ card (European Distributors: Eytech Group
Ltd.), and if found will initialise them for use by your MIDI
package such as Music-X. Please be aware that PC COM ports are
limited to the baud rates which they can opperate and this driver
sets the rate to 38400 BAUD. This is ok if you are fortunate
enough to own a MIDI keyboard/sound-module etc. which has a serial
port that will operate at 38400 BAUD.

Example:
To work in Music-X set the tooltype:-
     MIDIPORTS=internal,1A|ibmsmidi,2A,3B

Tested:

I have succesfully tested it on my A2000 68060, OS3.1 with GG2 Bus+
& 2 PC serial ports (COM1/COM2) and a KORG O5R/W connected via its
serial interface & ROLAND CM64 conneced to the Korg's MIDI OUT port.
The Keyboard controller was connected to the Korg's MIDI IN port.
The software used was Music-X 2.0.

Hardware:
?????
I believe that there are interfaces available which will take a
serial input at 38400 BAUD and give a MIDI port at 31250 BAUD.
Perhaps I'll design one in the not to distant future.

NOT YET TESTED!
Alternatively, you may put a 15MHz clock onto (the correct pin)
of a 8450/16450 instead of the existing 18.432MHz clock. NOT YET
TESTED! This will give you 31250 BAUD at the COM port and using
any available AMIGA MIDI interface hardware you may then connect
your MIDI keyboard/sound-module etc.
NOT YET TESTED!

Please Email me with any bugs/questions etc.

NB. This is my first ever attempt at assembly programming on the
AMIGA. I was forced into it by there being no MIDI driver
available that I could find for the PC COM ports fitted to my
A2000. I found a lot of useful information on the Amiga Developers
CD 1.1 and used Hisoft's Devpac2 to assemble the source.
