I built mine with a 500kHz clock, but later changed it to 1MHz because
of compatibility problems.  Yes, you would think Mac MIDI software
should be able to handle all three clock speeds, but in practice,
the default is *always* 1MHz, and some software doesn't support anything
else.  If you're building your own, save yourself some hassles and
use a 1MHz clock.
