External Midi Interface

Hi,

Has anyone got an external midi adapter, that uses the serial port, to work. I am looking for something that will work with a laptop that doesn't have a joystick port. I only need 1 in 1 out.

Thanks

i just recently got a midiator ms-124w (the w is important!) to work using hacked up drivers that david topper has been working on.

driver:
ftp://presto.music.virginia.edu/pub/midiator

i'm using it with a dell inspiron 7500 laptop, and it works well. of course it's a custom driver, so it doesn't work with any of the existing sound/midi APIs at this point. i think dave is talking to people to get this driver folded into some source trees.
