serial interface
- two DB25 serial ports - one is mounted to the box, the other is hanging out on ribbon cable
- up to 57600 bps transfer speed
- the serial port on the ribbon cable does not deliver +/-12V, the other one does
- the 31250 bps MIDI rate is supported only when the 3.686 MHz oscillator is replaced by 4 MHz - this disables the higher bitrates (57600, 33600, 19200)
- disable switch
SerialMaster 500+
- uses 7,3728 MHz oscillator instead of 3.686 MHz thus offering 76800 and 115200 bps serial rates
- MFS3 software
- the SerialMaster 500 can be simply upgraded to 500+ with the new oscillator and software
