Does anyone in net.land know about MIDI interfaces for the Mac2? As I
understand it, the Mac traditionally uses "modem" and "printer" ports to
talk to the interface. Mac2 can handle a plug-in board. Has anyone
actually announced a MIDI board for Mac2? Or, alternately, will traditional
Mac interfaces work with the Mac2?
Any help would be appreciated.

Apparently, a MIDI adaptor for the Macintosh just an opto-isolator to prevent ground loops and a clock to run the serial port at the speed required for MIDI. These should work just fine on a Mac II. If you want to make your own, there is a construction article in MacTutor around the end of 1985. It is also in "The Best Of Mactutor, Vol. 1" David Palmer palmer@tybalt.caltech.edu ...rutgers!cit-vax!tybalt.caltech.edu!palmer The opinions expressed are those of an 8000 year old Atlantuan priestess named Mrla, and not necessarily those of her channel.
