3682.0. "Serial port finickyness" by MILKWY::JANZEN (Life's beautiful from a Distance) Tue Apr 17 1990 12:56

    Hi
    I wrote a program that sends MIDI output only and it works great on my
    system and gets serial write errors on other people's nearly identical
    amigas.  The port opens OK.
    What if they don't hook up request to send and data set ready? What if
    the data input is inactive?  What flags could I have set wrong?  maybe
    midi tools on a fish disk i have will have a good example.

    I reproduced the problem by totally disconnecting everything from the
    serial port.
    However, note that I have an ECE midi interface and that the serial
    write errors occur on someone else's amiga with an ece interface.

I presume you set the RAD_BOOGIE bit when you opened the serial port...

My faulty memory (old-timer's disease) may be wrong, but I think this
is required for MIDI.
