    Two related questions about MIDI and G4 PowerBooks:

    1. DOes a PowerNook have a built-in sound card that can interprep MIDI
    data -- so that you caN USE A MUSIC SEQUENCING PROGRAM AND HEAR THE
    OUTPUT WITHOUT HAVING TO BUY an external sound mosule of any kind. I'm
    guessing the answer is yes, because otherwise, Garabge Band wouldn;t
    work.

    Second, if the answer is yes, is there any kind of cable I can get that
    would let me plug a dumb MIDI keyboard -- I own one -- into the
    PowerNook -- i.e., with a MIDI connector at one end and a USB or
    FireWiere connector on the other?

    Actually, I have an old Roland SC-7 sound module. The problem is that
    I don't see how I can connect it to my PowerBook because it was
    connected to my beige G3 through the older-style modem port -- the same
    type of port you used for printers on the Mac -- I'm not sure exactly
    what it was called. Is there any kind of adapter that would allow me
    to connect the SC-7 via a USB connection?
