     I have a 5-octave keyboard from the Alpha Syntari company that
I have had for at least 6-7 years.  It was originally hooked up to
and interface card in an Apple II+ machine.  Last I could tell this
company has ceased to exist.

     I am hoping that I can find someone or some company that either
has an interface card for an IBM pc clone or has the schematics for
the keyboard interface card so I can build one of my own.  I am
looking at trying to use it as an input device for music that can
be played on the sound blaster card of the PC.

     When I bought the setup, the keyboard was supposed to be
velocity sensitive and therefore was supposed to have the capability
of the musician using the skills associated with a regular acoustic
piano.  I do realize that the feel is nowhere near the 'real' thing.

       Any help would be greatly appreciated,
