Amiga 1000 MIDI?
« on: August 11, 2019, 06:13:43 PM »
Hi,

So I'd like to use MIDI on my A1000, but of course the port is a different gender from all other models.  It seems like using a gender changer and then using, say, an ECE MIDI interface doesn't do the trick, probably because the A1000's serial port also has a slightly different pinout from all other models...?  But I could be totally wrong here, just speaking from the experience of my own failed experiments.

So, to use MIDI with the A1000, do I have to use an interface specifically designed for the A1000?  and/or hack an interface, and/or build an interface (which I haven't got the skills to do)...?  Or should it actually be possible to use an interface from the later models, but through a gender changer (which I can't seem to get to work)?  My serial port /seems/ to work fine, as ATerm allows me to communicate with other computers.

Thanks
