[sdiy] MIDI to COM port driver

[Jerry Gray-Eskue]

You may have to "roll your own" midi data packets and shove them out the
serial port using one of the many rs232 terminal programs available.

Why do you not just add the Midi Opto interface to your receiving RS232
port, It is only one 6n138 Opto, three resistors and one diode?

Hi everybody-

Here's an odd query.  I'm looking for a windows driver that will serve as a
MIDI output port but electrically output to an RS232 COM port.  Does anyone
know of such a driver?

I suppose demand for such a driver would be close to nil.  I intend to use
it for my experiments with Altium Designer and Nanoboard, a *really* cool
unified design tool which runs from circuit design and spice on up to PCB
layout and FPGA design including embedded cores.  I think it also integrates
with physical design tools too.  Nanoboard doesn't have a MIDI port but it
does have an RS232 port that I would like to use for testing the MIDI
software interface in lieu of a MIDI hardware interface.

Thanks, John Speth.
