Hi, Ed.

There is much interest in the project you inquire about! So much so, that there is a growing number of manufacturers of "MIDI-IN" boards for such a purpose. I have endeavored to catalog them as a resource for those interested at:

   http://www.calpoly.edu/~cwoodwor/midi.html

Indeed, there are many subscribers to this list who have have installed some of these boards already; if you have questions regarding a particular board, this is a great place to ask questions and learn (Thanks, Jody!) [ Thanks, Pete!]

Cheers! -Pete Woodworth
