If you have a SoundBlaster card and want to use it's MIDI capabilities
then don't buy the $79.95 'Midi Connector Box'. For about $5 dollars,
you can made it by yourself, buying all the part at a Tandy store (except
the 15 pin male connector, which they don't sell). Buying the parts in
a 'normal' electronic store, you will pay even less (one half).

That is really simple. It did it last Sunday in one hour, including
finding the right values for resistors. I could then successfully play
MIDI files, record/replay MIDI events (using the software from ucsd.edu),
use the bundled FM-Organ with my keyboard, then the Musician I crapware.

If there are enough interested people, I could prepare a documentation
(free). Mail me.
