I have a serious problem with my A3000 serial port. I have tried two MIDI interfaces, and neither seems to work. My Supra 2400 modem works fine, and a homebrew MIDI OUT only device (driven by the data line) works. However, it seems that the two MIDI devices I have tried seem to want to draw power from the port, and it is possible that there is a problem there (the data I/O and other standard modem functions work fine). Since I compose music with MIDI, this is a big problem. Can anyone offer some advice on A: a MIDI device that gets its power from somewhere other than the serial port (I have heard about the MIDI Gold Insider which supposedly goes inside an A2000, but does not require a slot - how does this get its power and how do I get in touch with Goldenhawk Technologies? There's an answering machine there that doesn't say what place I am actually reaching) and B: is there a decent internal serial board that can output at MIDI rates, that's not too expensive? I can't afford to send my Amiga off to get fixed. Any help would be appreciated!! -Paul -- **************************************************************************** * Paul Miller | DISCLAIMER IS BETTER THAN DATCLAIMER * * VIDEOWORKS Computer Applications | ------------------------------------ * * Certified AMIGA Developer | My opinions are mine own, and not * * --------------------------------- | those of those who are not me (um?) * * INTERNET: pmiller@vttcf.cc.vt.edu | - Have a JOLT and a smile! - * * ------------------------------------------------------------------------ * * Origin: MILLIWAYS, The Restaurant at the End of the Universe!
