[comp.sys.amiga.tech] What is SERPER register value for MIDI transmission rate?

karl@sugar.UUCP (Karl Lehenbauer) (06/06/88)

SERPER contains the baud-rate divider bits.  According to the Hardware
Reference Manual, if you consider the value to be N, then N+1 279.4
ns hardware clocks occur between samples of the state of the input
pin.

I understand the MIDI baud rate to be 31250.  By this, I calculate that
there are about 114.5 279.4 ns periods per bit transmitted, yielding a 
SERPER value of 113 or 114.  They both seem to work.  Which is best or
is there a different, better value?
