[sdiy] external midi interface

[Hans-H.Klos]

Thanks for your help! Anyways, I figuerd that building an
interface would still be kind of expensive considering it would
only have 1 in 1 out (1 thru which i dont need).
So I went to ebay and got a newish interface with 2 ins 4 outs
and PSU, SMPTE read/write,  Windows95/98/ME,
Windows NT 3.5x+4.0 und Windows2000 drivers (multiclient!)
 ++++more: http://www.ees-musik.de/ (German :-(  )
for: $50 (USD) !!!! and you can still hook up the printer.
I guess this is the cheapest I could ever get.
I couldn't really understand/read those schematics that I would feel comfi
actually building such a device. I would like to see some PCB's that can
be printed rather than TXT and "funny" schematics. (I'm new here, and
I think layoud PCB's that with and without the components do a great
job of saving time and also help understanding an also present schematic.
If someone is good enough to draw such a schematic and actually build
that gear, he will obviously have needed to lay the components out and
might have generated a gerber file/netlist......->>put them on the net!!! )
Bye
