I am using a Mac SE/30 with a MIDI interface (the one that Kirk Austin publishedin MacTutor).  The problem is that sometimes when I run the first MIDI appli-  
cation, the MIDI interface "goes nuts" and sends out garbage.  My Yamaha piano
(CLP-300) hangs up completely, and my drum machine (RX-5) says "MIDI DATA 
ERROR!".  When I quit from the application, the problem does NOT go away--it
seems like I have to power off the SE/30 and start over, and that may or may 
not solve the problem.  It is very random and unpredictable.  Up to now, I 
have not been sure whether the problem is in the MIDI interface or the Mac, but
I just talked to a friend who said he heard about some problem with SE/30's 
and the serial ports not getting initialized properly for the MIDI drivers.
Has anyone else had or heard of this problem?  Is there something I can do
(a program to run) that will properly initialize the serial ports?

I am running Vision and Deluxe Music Construction Set, (one at a time, uni-   
Finder) and my MIDI interface is plugged into the modem port.  I am not using
AppleTalk.  Any help or advice would be GREATLY APPRECIATED.

As usual, post or EMail replies.  I'll get them either way.  THANKS!!!
