I am interested in information about getting a MIDI port for my Toshiba
T3100SX.  Does anyone have information about or experience with either

- an internal MIDI card for the T3100SX (I don't know that such a card exists)

or

- external MIDI ports that plug into the serial or parallel ports.

In the latest Keyboard magazine there were ads for an external box that plugs
into the parallel port providing 3 ins and 3 outs and for a passthrough
converter that plugs into the serial port (I believe the second was called
a "Midiator").  Anyone know about either of these and are they 401-compatible?

Thanks,
Richard
