Hi all,

 From my first DIY email request on that subject
I'm just trying to 'steal' power from a MIDI out connector
using only pins 2 & 4. I know this way I'd lose any GND references
but I'm still asking to get new ideas from great people like you guys !
You know, this device could have a floating GND reference.
Doesn't matter as far as my final MIDI powered device can cope
with it's incoming MIDI signal and send 'enough strong' MIDI info
on it's output.
