According to the following website, http://www.faqs.org/faqs/atari-8-bit/faq/s...section-43.html, the MIDIMAX interface is fully compatible with Hybrid Arts' Midi Tracks. This is what lead me to believe that I could fairly easily use it for my own software (i.e. it's just a simple serial port). But since MIDI runs at 31250 baud, and the Atari 800 can't go that high, there's got to be some sort of circuitry, and I don't know how it's implemented. I also can't even seem to get at the interface itself by opening the right port. I don't know the MINIDATE interface.

I just got a Wizztronics MIDIMAX interface for my Atari 800. It works fine with the included software (MIDI Music System), but what I really want is to program my own MIDI software. When I try to configure the serial port I keep getting: Anyone have any ideas how I can access this interface? I'm mostly interrested in getting MIDI notes in, so that I can generate music directly with POKEY.
