As I understand it, the MIDI-able port can be software setup to take clock from
an external source on one of the header poins, so the built-in crystal is
ignored.  The MIDI crystal to supply that external clock is on the paddle
board.  At least that's how the prototype qwquickie hack MIDI paddle board I
have works, tho I think it goes into one of the extra serial ports on the I/O
board, tho I might be wrong there.

Anyway, that ability to accept external buad rate clock could let you use a
serial port for *lots* of things... mike k
