* 1984 – Roland MPU-401: Interface for connecting MIDI-equipped devices to a computer.

The drivers and hardware for the game port midi capabilities are based around the now standard Roland MPU-401 MIDI interface ( in UART mode only ).

Early versions of Cakewalk for DOS ( up to 3. 0 ) required the intelligent mode of the MPU-401, and so could not be used with product clones of the MPU-401, while later Cakewalk versions ( since 4. 0 ) relied on the dumb UART mode only.

The IBM DA15 PC game connector has been modified to add a ( usually MPU-401 compatible ) MIDI interface, and this is often implemented in the game connectors on third-party sound cards, for example the Sound Blaster line from Creative Labs.

* MPU-401, an obsolete standard for MIDI interfaces for personal computers

Mega-Em emulated the 8-bit Sound Blaster circuitry for sound effects and the Roland MT-32 / LAPC-I or Roland Sound Canvas / MPU-401 for music.

Released around 1984, the original MPU-401 was an external breakout box providing MIDI IN / MIDI OUT / MIDI THRU / TAPE IN / TAPE OUT / MIDI SYNC connectors, for use with a separately-sold interface card / cartridge (" MPU-401 interface kit ") inserted into a computer system.

IRQ2 / 9 is the traditional interrupt line for an MPU-401 MIDI port, but this conflicts with the ACPI system control interrupt ( SCI is hardwired to IRQ9 on Intel chipsets ); this means ISA MPU-401 cards with a hardwired IRQ 2 / 9, and MPU-401 device drivers with a hardcoded IRQ 2 / 9, cannot be used in interrupt-driven mode on a system with ACPI enabled.

The processor allowed the board to be configured to perform various audio tasks, such as MPU-401 MIDI synthesis or MT-32 emulation, without the use of a TSR program.

The Pro's MIDI UART was upgraded to full-duplex and offered time stamping features, but was not yet compatible with the MPU-401 interface used by professional MIDI equipment.

MIDI output through an emulated MPU-401 interface is available if the host is equipped with a physical MIDI-Out connector or a suitable software MIDI synthesizer.

Single-card combination of the MIF-APL interface and MPU-401, featuring MIDI IN, OUT, and SYNC connectors.

Compare this to UART mode, which reduces the MPU-401 to simply relaying in -/ outcoming MIDI data bytes.

Legacy support includes an OPL3 FM synthesizer, Sound Blaster Pro ( 22 kHz 8-bit Stereo ) emulation and MPU-401 compatible MIDI interface.

MPU-401 support is no longer included in Windows Vista, but as of 2011 the interface is still supported by Linux and Mac OS X.

Includes the MPU-401 interface.

The MT-32 with a necessary MPU-401 interface cost $ 550. 00 to purchase from Sierra when it first sold the device.

MPU-401 UART mode only.

* MPU-401 / AT: For IBM AT and compatibles.

The MPU-401 can work in two modes, normal mode and UART mode.

As a result, the UART mode became the dominant mode of operation, with many clones not supporting the " intelligent mode " at all, being advertised as MPU-401 compatible.

Babe Ruth, as he always did in the Stadium, played right field to avoid having the sun in his eyes, and Tommy Thevenow, a rather mediocre hitter who played shortstop for the St. Louis Cardinals, knocked a ball with all his might into the sharp angle formed by the permanent stands and the wooden bleachers, where Ruth could not reach it.
