Atari partisan revisionist.  :-)

The very first piece of hardware I had for my Amiga was a 
MIDI dongle from Amiga Corp. that plugged into the serial port.
It was a handmade, bare, uncased prototype they sent me as a
developer interested in making MIDI software.

Very little glue is needed to support MIDI if a computer's
UART can handle the speed.
