Any recommendation for the internal audio cable? Would a standard cable CD-ROM -> Sound Blaster Aux/CD-In work?

you will need something like this:
or this
the plug that goes in the mpu side needs to be a flat connector (or you can trim any locking mechanism the cable might have) and the other part whatever the soundcard requires , just get a simple shielded cable and you'll be fine
finally the wait is over 🤣 first batch assembled, checked and working perfect 😀
yes, that is truly a crude burn-in setup, I got several like that on the other room 🤣
so I'll go make some sales thread now on Amibay following the google-sheet priority 😀
Yay! I guess for ISA bus this is as good as it gets on par with Roland MPU-401AT card.
Granted I'm not exactly a fan of that weird splitter thingy. One might think the card could have went with mini-jacks for these breakout MIDI cables straight away (but then old cable from previous version wouldn't be compatible). It's a 'lil strange choice, imho. Nevertheless, it is awesome.
^ it won't bother you you'll see
the DB9 port also serves another purpose: a place to fix the bracket. Altering the bracket design to add other anchor points was not an option at this time - so there wouldn't be a chance to have them machine-made.
Yeah, you're right, I forgot about bracket holding screws. It would have had to be quite different for some other mounting mechanism.
I'm interested in getting one of these cards - can you let me know how to proceed Keropi?
I've just put my name in bold on the list, really hope I'm not too late. (just not checked on this thread in a while)
So if we use a midi daughterboard....does the sound come out of the green jack?
^ yes , the green jack carries the daughterboard's audio. Alternatively for internal connection there are 4 pins behind the jack so you can connect it to your soundcard using a cdrom audio cable

Cool...is the output digital or analogue?
analogue ofcourse
Here is a quick setup guide and the breakout cable pinout in case anyone needs them:
also:
PC-MIDI manual and DOS utilities/diagnostics
win9x multiport drivers (allows more than one program to access the MPU at the same time)
Just in case anyone is wondering , IH9MQ9 is the original MQ card and each time a new version is coming out we bump this product number, the current one is IH9MQ12 🤣
I'm getting really excited to play with this. Being able to pick any one of over 50 ISA sound cards for their FM/effects without having to worry about Midi bugs will be sweet.
Added my name to the list as well
are there any cards left?
@typherial Add your name to this list and you will be contacted asap when one card is ready for you. There are plenty of cards this time, enough for everyone.
