The 1541 is hooked up via MIDI, right?

I downloaded the VICE source and remembered I don't know C++ for crap. I am busy right now but if no one else gets into it I probably will in March. No promises -- but I'll definitely play around!

No, it's not. Perhaps the connections look the same, but the interface protocol (and electrical connections) are different. I think they are both types of serial connections, though.

As far as I know, MIDI (Musical Instrument Digital Interface) is only for controlling musical instruments (of course) and also used to control automated stage lighting systems.

I think the video output has the same connector, so maybe you could produce midi signals by showing different patterns on the screen.
