After years of searching I've finally managed to score a Roland MT-32 (Mk. I) from 1988. It's to be used in my main DOS gaming PC, based around a Pentium 75 and Sound Blaster 16 (dreaming of an AWE32 which I used to own 30 years ago).
I've got a Roland MPU-401 with original cable and connectors, but am missing the MIF-IPC-A interface card. So what should I do? As far as I've managed to find out I have three options:
1. Get an Orpheus II sound card and trash the MPU-401 unit
2. Get the PCMIDI which is a modern version of the MIF-IPC-A card with some additional features, but lack the MPU-401 connector.
3. Get the Lo-tech MIF IPC B which is a brand new "clone" of the original MIF-IPC-A (https://texelec.com/product/lo-tech-mif-ipc-b/).
Any options I'm missing, and any thoughts and experiences from other MT-32 users?
