So the same old driver should work, and the same 9600 baud limit still 
applies.  Some of that I think is driver, not the acia, cuz I had this ones 
piggyback chipset modified to be a midi port for a while,  it ran great at 
31,250 baud doing midi.  I was driving two cheap keyboards at the same time, 
with different voices in ultimuse-III, one through it, and one through the 
bitbanger.  It would have been much more useful to me if it could have 
received midi too, but sadly I was never able to get a single keypress back 
through it.  :(  If I could have made that work, you would have seen a lot 
of .ume files from my wife's playing made available way back then.

Mine doesn't. Never been a problem though thanks to the more aggressive bite 
in the connectors of my older mpi.
