Thanks Peter and all who responded.  I do have a
serial to usb converter but it doesn't support MIDI

I'll get that usb midi converter sometime.  Ah, but
first things first.  I need to have my keyboard
repaired.  And it might be cheaper to replace than to
fix. I'll see. It's an Alesis. 

Pretty cool you're in NORWAY and here I am in TEXAS
(USA).  Never ceases to amaze me.
