What you do is get hold of some library code which drives the serial ports in the correct way. There's no (to my knowledge) way of doing this using the serial drivers or anything like this. MIDI programs just set up interrupt routines and have their own dirty way with the hardware. I have some basic MIDI byte I/O routines which somebody sent me (they were written in assembler, but I just converted the .REL file for use in LSC). I've built some higher-level MIDI merging and message parsing code on top of these. Anybody interested in them? (I'll give out sources as well, if you want.)
