[comp.music] ethernet <> MIDI connections

sheasby@dgp.toronto.edu (Michael C. Sheasby) (02/24/90)

I'm looking for hardware/software fixes for the following hairy problem:

we need to run several (upwards of 5) autonomous MIDI buses off an
ethernet bus.

has anybody seen hardware that will do this neatly?

thanks... I'll post interesting replies.

I'd be interested in seeing responses to this, too.  Does anyone know
of a way to guarantee an ethernet data transfer within some reasonably finite
length of time?  Or is it necessary to make your devices on the ethernet
"intelligent" enough to handle cases of delayed data?
