I've got an interesting little experiment I'm going to perform.
I've got an older Asus atom-based eeepc I was thinking about turning into a sort of meta-MT32.
It's got Windows XP running + MUNT midi driver installed.
My theory is that I could take two USB midi adapters and treat the eeepc exactly like an MT32 external unit; map the output of Dosbox' midi to the input on the eeepc.
Does anyone have suggestions on usb-to-midi cables to prefer/avoid? Any that have Windows 7 64-bit support?
Anybody done this, or thought about doing this? There's no real point to it, granted, but I actually thought it would be pretty cool to do this and then have the little eeepc running some sort of full-screen oscilliscope ala the old Cthugha app, perched up on top of my computer desk for some eye candy while I get my "classic gaming" done.
Also, if it works, I was considering picking up an old broken MT32, gutting it, and sliding in one of the mini-ITX boards (or the guts of the eeepc); I think it would look quite nice alongside my NES I turned into a HTPC...
