      <p>If you have the space and budget, use two optocouplers: one for
        each direction, that allows you even to sense which direction it
        is. </p>

            <div>Oops, that has been solved in commercial products for
              over 5 years. </div>
            <div>But without those extra diode voltage drops! </div>

            <div>(Assuming 1.9 V drop for the optocoupler and 2 x 0.3 V
              drop for the Schottkys, and the new 3.3 V (+/- 5 % on the
              lower side) logic level, there's 0.635 V left for the 220
              ohm resistor. The current is then only 2.9 mA, far below
              the required 5 mA. Oops2!)</div>

            <div>(It would need to have 127 ohms instead of 220. But
              with 5 V (+/- 10 % on the higher side) logic level, and
              1.9 + 0.3 + 0.3 V voltage drops, you get 3 V over the
              resistor. 23.6 mA is above the specified Abs Max input
              current of the 6N138 optocoupler suggested in the MIDI
              spec, even if the 6N137 used here will survive. Oops3!)</div>

            <div>I'm sure similar gender-agnostic TRS MIDI In jack
              solutions must have been implemented by several
              manufacturers by now? It was a bit weird to see different
              brands using different polarities when TRS MIDI emerged,
              and even more strange to see MMA omit a solution for it in
              the new standard. :-) </div>
