First one is easy, does anybody have a copy of the JVS USB Protocol ?
Second one is trickier, does anybody have the RX/TX Communications of the MIDI Feedback board.. (I have access to an machine with one, i may have to reverse engineer this one)..
JVS Protocol & MIDI Serial Protocol
It's all documented very nicely here http://www.jamma.or.jp/siryou/siryou02/JVST_VER3.pdf - if you can read Japanese that is - translation tools will help you a bit. It's a master/slave scheme, where the game queries the I/O board(s) every 60 seconds for the state of inputs.
You also got a PM
What are you making?

The Naomi has both serial and midi ports. It is my opinion that it transmits standard midi signals to the feedback board. This idea comes from the fact that it's called a "MIDI Feedback Controller" and the board is not made by Sega, but by a third party for general midi motor control.
I wanted to test the board by analyzing and reproducing the midi signals using a computer. But of the two feedback boards I had, I traded one and found out that the other didn't work. :smt011

maybe it could help or have any additionnal info you need here ? it"s not pretty what are you looking for because i don't know if it's related to the jvs protocol but you'll know better

I think people are making DirectInput drivers for JVS I/O boards.
Thing is in theory it is possible to use a Com port - RS485 converter PCB, and then a JVS I/O board.
Then use a packet driver as an input controller, who knows maybe it's been done..
Would be neat as then you could use analog controls and IR Type 2 on anything that supports DirectInput
