if you are trying to input midi into your pc, then you can use many
sound card's midi port.

there are also m-audio devices that have midi in and outputs on them, i
believe they are called the midisport series, like 1x1, 2x2, 8x8, etc. i
could be wrong, because i don't have one, i just have heard about them.
i use my emu10k's mpu-401 as well as a usb keyboard.

if you are trying to record your guitar as midi, then you can use a
roland gk-2a or gk-3a pickup and a roland gi-10 or gi-20 to convert the
output of the pickup into midi, and from there, plug it into a midisport
or your sound card's midi port.

hope that helps, and sorry for the no-caps thing, my right shift key is
broken, and i don't use the left one.
