Hi folks,
	Although I have a perfectly good Roland RD-300s sitting right beside me and
MIDI cables in a drawer nearby, I have never messed with MIDI stuff on the
computer. But since it seems to be a major part of CSound, I figure I should
learn about it.

	My first problem is where/how to hook the durn thing up. I understand that
I can get an adapter for my SB64 sound card to plug it into the joystick
port (I would hate to loose my Joystick or would a splitter be enough?)
but... would it be better to get a separate MIDI card and if so (I've never
seen one for sale) what should I look for?

	Thanks for any input, and if this is off topic, I'll be happy to take it
off the list.
