If you have a PC with a soundcard that has a joystick port, you 
probably have a built-in midi interface.  All you need is a cord that 
gives you midi in/out connectors on the end that doesn't go into the 
joystick port. (Usually, its $15.00 - $20.00 new.)

If you then configure your multimedia settings to send MIDI to the 
sound card's midi port, instead of the internal sounds, basic media 
players that play midi files should play the sounds on your new VZ-
10M.

From there if you want to invest in sequencer software, there are 
frequently early versions of Cakewalk software available there.

Hope this helps.
