If you have a SoundBlaster card and want to use it's MIDI capabilities then don't buy the $79.95 'Midi Connector Box'. For about $5 dollars, you can made it by yourself, buying all the part at a Tandy store (except the 15 pin male connector, which they don't sell). Buying the parts in a 'normal' electronic store, you will pay even less (one half). That is really simple. It did it last Sunday in one hour, including finding the right values for resistors. I could then successfully play MIDI files, record/replay MIDI events (using the software from ucsd.edu), use the bundled FM-Organ with my keyboard, then the Musician I crapware. If there are enough interested people, I could prepare a documentation (free).
