On the contrary, the LAPC-1 is NOT a MIDI interface card.  It is basically a
Roland MT-32 synth on a card, and won PC Mag's Technical Excellence award in
the Entertainment category for 1989.  Still, I'd rather have a MIDI card and
a Roland D-10...but that's just me.  Of course, I can't afford either option.
