You won't see it in the spec, as the spec doesn't actually say it's a UART. In practice it is. The data line is either your TX line or your RX line depending if it's In or Out (each cable deals with only one of them)
It operates at 31250 baud. In any case I got it working. I had my TX and RX lines crossed like I said.

Well, all I can say is that the spec. I'm looking at does say UART!

Well, fair enough

It sounds super frustrating, but also irritatingly fascinating. I wonder if there are any books on the subject from the era.
Will you write an article about all of this when you get it all figured out? I would love to read that.

I fully intend to. I'm a little ways away from it now though. I have big plans.

Doesn't MIDI come in 5v and 3.3v? You might need a level shifter. E.g. ESP32 is 3.3v and won't appreciate 5v input.

My module has a level shifter and can operate at either. I found the problem eventually. My TX and RX lines were crossed because I was confused about the orientation: I thought TX was labeled like "I go to the TX pin" rather than "I am the TX pin" - don't know where my head was at.

Hardware pins are always labeled from the perspective of the chip they are attached to. If a pin says TX, it means *this chip* right here transmits on this pin, and if you want to communicate between two chips, you connect one's TX to the other's RX.
I know you know all this, HTCW, so just for the benefit of someone else who might not...
Any hardware you find that doesn't follow this convention should be shunned and the designer publicly shamed in the town square -- but I think it's pretty rare overall.

I did build my own MIDI card for the IBM PC ISA bus in the 80's. The main difference between MIDI and RS232 serial comms is the baud rate needed. I used a 2MHz crystal for the MIDI. RS232 uses 1.8something MHz crystal. The reason is that the baud rate needed for MIDI is not possible otherwise.

Ah, yeah, because it's not divisible, I get you. In this it's not a problem, as the timing completely configurable via this little ESP32 MCU. They're little beasts.

The breakout works fine. I've tested it with a loop between TX and RX. No lag.

... there are calls in the UK (at least) for pay parity between the male and female professional players.
I have to say that is a great idea, only fair, and which can only serve to improve the game as a whole.
The problem is going to be getting the men to take that big a pay cut ...

I don't know if supply-and-demand works the same way for sports on your side of the pond, but here the only way for women's sports to pay more and/or equitably is for them to draw the same size crowds to their matches. Maybe that would happen with more exposure and promotion in the media, but right now it's tough for them to draw big crowds at all, much less at the ticket prices they would need to pay the same as men's sports.
If you think 'goto' is evil, try writing an Assembly program without JMP.

Supply-and-demand is universal. What isn't universal is the tendency of European and other governments to subsidize activities they consider "cultural", "in the public interest", etc., AKA robbing Peter to pay Pauline.

Co-ed teams might be worth a try.

Given the documented differences to men's advantage between men and women in physical strength, endurance, etc., I suspect that those co-ed teams will turn men-only in short order. The only fair ways to have contests of strength etc. is either to have men-only and women-only contests, or to test applicants and grade them by (size, endurance, etc.) in a manner similar to that used by boxers.
The latter might not work so well for team sports.

Or like a mixed-doubles event.
But how about having women play the first half and men play the second half?
