Indeed, i discovered that my cmipci card has a game port that can be used as midi port through a module parameter, just like the SB-Live. I even have a suitable midi cable for it. First tests show that it works well. But i am considering bying a better midi interface though, with at least 2 in/out ports, so i can connect other equipment as well. It will have to be a usb thing, because i am out of pci slots. Any suggestions are welcome, by the way. -- gerrit
