Does anyone know of a PS/2 compatible MIDI card on the market?
I heard a rumour that Roland had produced an MCA version of its popular
MPU-401, but I haven't been able to verify that.
I have a Model 55, if that makes any difference (which I kinda doubt).
Help!!

Vessell Bradley Univ. Peoria, IL drdave@buhub.bradley.edu The MCA card is out. It's called the MPU-IMC. It can be had for about $300 (ouch!). IBM is marketing a complete MPU/CM-32/Software system for about $600 (student discount). brian

Does anyone have info on the MCA version of the Soundblaster that is supposed to be released? such as: When? How much? Will it be upgradable to handle MIDI like the ISA version? Srini Seshan

The model is MPU-IMC (MC for MicroChannel). That is just a MIDI card (no synthesizer), but I guess you knew that ;-) There maybe a version of SoundBlaster coming for MC, but the Roland MIDI interface is the standard.

I don't know how much nor will it, but next month is the date. I also heard that the formally unpublished and ever-changing microchannel spec had cause some delay in finalizing of the production version.

They said that they wouldn't release any information on the MCA Soundblaster until March. I had the 800- number for Creative Labs, but I can't find it any more. Could someone post it again? And maybe that person could call CLI and see if March 1st isn't too early to ask? ----------------------------------------------------------- The Time Traveler Sadder still to watch it die a.k.a.
