The Atari DIN leads should be fine on PC too, the UA-4FX has normal midi connectors as well as usb. As I have said a million times before,tape the hole up on 1.44mb floppies then the ST will accept them although 720kb discs are not that difficult to get. I don't know much about programming computers,but I do about sequencers. The ST uses an interesting midi out which splits the signals into out and thru on the one lead but I have never had a problem in 10 years ever with a standard lead.
