[sdiy] MIDI to COM port driver

[Laurie Biddulph]

The Yamaha Serial Driver is the software solution to your problem. You will 
still need some hardware to convert the RS232 port in to a MIDI port but 
this only requires a couple of ics and some resistors and is very easy to 
knock up on a bit of strip board.

I can send you the drivers and a schematic if you wish

Best Regards
