Yes, but please note you need +12V and -12V. --> you can generate this from the 5V, indeed :
I have done this once, for a friend, modded the chil n phil by adding a DC/DC converter.
And his works.
If there is sufficient interest, I can make a new chill n phil version that supports all waveblaster cards.
Note: many old module pcb's are large, they may obstruct other ports when place directly on the game port. An extender cable can help.
The heavy duty version (with real midi port) is the full chill board http://www.serdashop.com/Webwinkel-Product-19 … ion-V2-KIT.html,
it also generates the +12V and -12V from 5V. In this case a very clean 5V from an oversized linear regulator.
