This is actually the reason I bought the T102 I have, as a platform to
learn 8085 assembly. It is absolutely fast enough to process MIDI. The
protocol was designed for and proliferated on computers of this era.
In the Tandy's case, the hitch is really getting the UART to go the
right speed. Last time I tried, no combination of timer/divider
settings would get it close enough to 31250 Baud.
Yeah, this was my thought also regarding the baud rate. The closest you
can get is the divide by 5 option which gives 30720 baud ... about 1.7%
error. Of course even if it would work, it also means you need a MIDI
synthesizer instead of just the M100.
