Hi,
I went all out and bought a lot of stuff which is tricking in. I think I have the components to actually get a game working, but before I start plugging wires in, I wanted to check with the experts. What I have:
1.) An IBM 350 with ISA Slots, 486/DX2 66mhz - DOS 6.22 with several games installed on the HD, one of which of course is Monkey Island
2.) A Roland MPU-401 breakout box (this is for the MT-32 which has not yet arrived). This is the older, big, external box with DB-25 cable
3.) An MIF IPC B - new 8 bit Low Tech clone interface card for the MPU-401
4.) A Roland Sound canvas SC-55 MKII
I do not yet have a sound card, but I think with what I have , I might be able to play a game with MIDI sound.
My thought was to insert the interface MIF IPC B card into the PC -> 25 pin cable -> MPU-401->MIDI Cable->SC-55 mkII->powered speakers. Run Monkey Island.
Will this work? Comments appreciated.
