Hi,

I was wondering if it were possible to push MIDI data out using a 16550 based
serial port.  I'd like to be able to control my midi devices from my PC's
serial ports and would like the record the incoming data too.

Issues that I can think of are:

(a) getting precise timing of the output bytes right

(b) reading in data with similar determinism of the time

Has anyone taken this approach before?

I'd be running FreeBSD -current on a SiS '496 motherboard with built-in
serial ports.

Thanks,

Koshy
