	Greetings. This is for those of you interested in building 
	a MIDI interface board for the IBM PC. 

	I have an article from BYTE (1985-86ish) that describes the
	MIDI protocol in detail, has drawings and parts layout for
	a DART (Z80 family) based board, and has listings of MIDI
	software in BASIC. It was a simple project with 2 input
	ports (or was it 2 output ports?). I actually though
	of building it (for "hacker" reasons, not musicaly inclined)
	but never got around to it. Parts for that project can be
	bought for peanuts these days and you can get a wire-wrap
	board from Vector (sp?) and tools and wire from RatShack


	I'm sure you can get a back issue of BYTE at your local library,
	since I'm not sure that BYTE wants me to give out photocopies
	of that article  :-)

	Take care.
