PCI slots on motherboards are getting hard to find.
However, it seems they
all still have two serial ports as headers if not on the back. Maybe try

Note: this is old (I better pdf it) it makes mention of ISA slots :) But it
would still work fine now. There are serialport midi drivers for Linux.
Actually, much simpler would be to just take the optocoupler and add an
inverter (or two) after to feed the computer. (basically a thru box) Make
sure power comes from the receiver (computer in this case).
