This is a very simple system, not complete and as far as I know not
being worked on anymore.
This will also work: Just pipe a raw MIDI stream
to the serial port of most multiport serial MIDI interfaces (at the right
baudrate and data/stopbits) and it will work. You can even use a
'cable' message (0x50 followed by a byte indicating the cable iirc) to
use all ports.
