I blame @tombarber8929, in a good way, for peer-pressuring me into buying an OAsys iPAD... you might know it better as the restaurant bump bar that can play DOOM.

That's nice and all, but part of the experience of playing DOOM is its sound track. And while we can't install a sound card into the iPAD, as the SoC in the device doesn't have ISA support, we can do the next best thing: try a Serial-to-MIDI device with an external wavetable module.

Will I figure out the serial port pinout? Will we get the serial MIDI DOS driver working? Will we hear the famous DOOM soundtrack on the wavetable module I imported just for this project? You'll have to watch to find out!
