OK, I sincerely apologize for bringing this up again, but you all have a vast knowledge on this subject that I cannot easily find anywhere else. And yes, I've been trying. :) I am seriously considering getting myself a MT32 (Question 1: There are no PCI LAPC-1, right?), but I wanted to use my "modern" box with it. (Question 2: Will a fast machine or recent OS be a problem?). I'm assuming I'll have to connect the MT32 "somewhere", I'm guessing to the MIDI port of my soundcard (Question 3: Will the midi port of my SB PCI64 do the trick?). If I'm lucky, then the "only" problem I have will be getting one MT32, which I'm guessing won't be easy on this side of the ocean... Thank you, P. Pedro R.
