  Concerning MIDI sample data dumps:

  I have an A2000 1.3 with a program to send and receive MIDI sample
data dumps. It's not pretty, but I'd like to make it so. The ugliness
is that I Disable/Enable around a RBF (TBE for send) polling loop, thus
taking over the machine. What I would like to do is have a RBF interupt
service routine that **DOESN'T MISS A BYTE**. Sending is not a problem.

  The problem is MIDI 31250 BAUD; 8bits, 1 start, 1 stop; 320uS/data.
So I've got to get the data and be ready for the next data in 320uS.
The question I pose is how long (in CPU clock cycles) does it take
from a RBF interupt to when my service routine gets control of CPU,
in the worst case (I guess you need the operating system source code
to answer this). I noticed the hardware priority for the RBF is 6;
can any other interupt override this? If so, all hope is lost.
