Phil,
The easiest way to get a non-USB MIDI interface is through the
joystick (serial) port on your computer, if your computer has one. Most
still do, and it may be located as part of the modem card or the sound
card, or may just be by itself. Anyway, the link uses a serial driver
called MPU401 that is inherent in all operating systems all the way
back to Windows 3.1. The Midi adapter that I have, unfortunately, has
no manufacturer's markings on it whatsoever, so I can't help you with a
part number. But just search Google for "Serial port MIDI controller"
and you might come up with what you need.
There is also a swap-and-shop section on www.techsupportforum.com
that you may be able to find one through.
Good luck!
By the way, if you have difficulty locating the MPU401 driver, let me
know and I'll e-mail it to you.
