Assimilation is out of business.

I think that connector (I know the people who designed/built it  for
Assimilation) was set up so that if there is POWER on the device connected to
the RS 232 port, it would default to RS232, ie, an Imagewriter connecter, turned
on works ok, turn it off, you have MIDI

The frozen system is a common symptom (I am writitng a CDROM driver, running at
1 meg baud rate).  It usually happens when you get I/O interrupts at high speed
(MIDI is 31.25K baud).  High speed usage should have interrupts turned off.

I assume the little box is sending nulls at 31.25k baud which the system is 
tryining to process.

Need any more help, please let me know
