No and no



MIDI is a protocol as is RS-422, they are not the same.

What's different with the Keyboard MIDI for MUSIC machine and SEGA arcade machine MIDI interface?



MIDI=Protocol



RS-422=Serial Port Interface



Beacuse I look up the Intital D Arcade Stage 4 Wiring Diagram,it's use the RS-232 <=> RS-422 Converter Board to transform the siginal,so I think they are familiar!!

No, id4 uses a different driveboard (serial, not midi). RS-422 is not equal to MIDI.
