- Hate to tell ya this, but buzz has it (according to a blurb in Electronic
- Musician) that _all_ Powerbook models, as well as the new Performa 600/IIvx/vi
- Macs, have a serial port problem when dealing with MIDI data. You just can't
- use them for that, as it appears to be a hardware-related problem. Supposedly
- Apple is working on a fix for it, though, so keep your ears peeled. As for
- right now, however, you just can't use that 'puter for MIDI.
