If the computer is an older PC and has a parallel printer port or an 
older Mac with a serial port and you want a midi interface, you 
might check out e-bay.  Several months ago, MOTU Midi Express XTs 
[PC parallel/Mac serial port version NOT the newer usb port version] 
were going for between $50 and $65 (plus shipping). It is an 8 in 8 
out midi interface.  Drivers for Mac and Windows are availabe at the 
motu website.  Of course, there are usually other interfaces there, 
too.

If you have a PC with a Sound Blaster Pro compatible sound card with 
a joystick port and some midi cables, I have some new midi 
[female]/joystick cables I picked up at Guitar Center I was planning 
to sell on e-bay. Since they have female midi connectors on them, 
you would need regular midi cables to connect to your midi gear.

Contact me privately if interested, or if there is a Guitar Center 
near you, see if they have a blow out sale cables. (The males were 
more expensive, but worth it if you don't already have midi cables.)

Hope this helps.

PS: I just hooked one of the new cables up to my CZ-5000. They work!
