In reply to Comment 5 (Pitur):
Pitur you wrote:

>Amiga serial ports are not the same as PC ones

yes but you can easily made a connection interface just to connect your midi port by passing CORRECT VOLTAGE INPUT in order to provide power to the interface.

As you see into pages I suggested you, one of the folks speaking, was telling how he managed this task by providing power supply using interface of an old pc mouse-pen-video.

Another problem is to set the speed of the PC serial interface to 31250 BPS instead of 38400 BPS, but I think you can joke into the Windows Registry to add this item.
(I didn't check about this statement I made, so don't blame me, I just think it is possible - AND AT YOUR OWN RISK)

***Or at least, it become available, and ready to be set, when you teach the system that a generic MIDI port is connected to the COM Port!!!***

Maybe someone on ANN who knows more about PC Hardware could help you in achieve that task.
