I am interested in information about getting a MIDI port for my Toshiba T3100SX. Does anyone have information about or experience with either - an internal MIDI card for the T3100SX (I don't know that such a card exists) or - external MIDI ports that plug into the serial or parallel ports. In the latest Keyboard magazine there were ads for an external box that plugs into the parallel port providing 3 ins and 3 outs and for a passthrough converter that plugs into the serial port (I believe the second was called a "Midiator"). Anyone know about either of these and are they 401-compatible? Thanks, Richard ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Richard A.

Although, you can purchase a add-on buss expansion, and use a standard pc buss midi card. >or >- external MIDI ports that plug into the serial or parallel ports. There are the devices that you mentioned, but these are NOT MPU-401 compatible. (They come with a cheesy sequencer to get around the non- standard interface.) >Thanks, >Richard >~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ > Richard A.
