 Hey everyone,

	I remember back in highschool my band director bought a really
simple 2x2 ISA MIDI interface for the band's computer.  Does anything
like that in PCI exist?  I've looked around and didn't find anything
that simple (ie, cheap ::-).

	What are people doing for this?  The USB MIDI adaptors all seem
really overpriced (they seem to start at around $40 for 1x1).   

 I bought my Midisport USB 2x2 for $20 US on Ebay. Works great for what I
 need.

  I don't need
the portability and would rather save the money.  Maybe I should just find
a pair of SB Lives used?  

 OEM SB live cards are also about $19.00 US. Or at least thats what I get
 mine for. Ebay is probably littered with them for almost nothing.

 R~

 Thanks for any tips!

 But you'd need a gameport-midi converter, which adds cost. I'd go the
 USB route for midi. Those small midi things often come in handy.
