Analog interface card and IIx help

I've read somewhere (can't remeber where)that a IIx with MIDI cannot have an analog interface card installed. Is this true? If not, can you sequence a mono synth using this card and run a midi synth as well. It would be great to run Page R with a minimoog....and a DX7! Thanks Mic
