May I advice you to insert a single IC to buffer things up at least. A single
7407 will do the trick. One inverter at the input feeding the other 5 inverters
who is driving a single output each.

But who is you to complain, you have a working MIDI interface in your computer.
I currently does not have a MIDI interface which works for sure in my computer,
so I don't complain about the time-lag or anything else in MIDInese.

Cheers,
Magnus - who should get his MIDI system running... one of these days...
