  SITUATION:  I have recently purchased a MIDI compatible synthesizer
              and am looking into purchasing a MACintosh or PC compact
              computer to interface with.

  REQUEST:    I would like to know what protocol is involved in this
              interface.  What hardware is needed?  The owners manual
              came with only the hardware specs for MIDI, but what
              is the actual protocol?  Packets?  Are there any 
              references I can acquire?  Someone once wrote of a MIDI
              users group or newsletter (for a fee!); could you
              repost?

                                           Thanx in advance,
                                           M.K. Pula
