Just to clarify some items (ie. MT-32):
The three original PC interfaces from Roland are as follows:
MPU-IPC: 8-bit ISA card that connects to a beige, external breakout box
via. 25-pin D-sub connector. Has MIDI IN, OUT, and through as well as a
metronome conenctor.
And you need to connect an external module to the MIDI i/o ports, which is
what you use an MT-32 for, right?
MPU-IMC: Microchannel version of the above card.
Oooh. I would *love* to have this. Is it made of unobtanium?
An MPU-IPC/IMC and MT-32 setup is functionally
equivilent to the LAPC-1
with a breakout box, although the breakout box is optional on the LAPC-1
(it is not needed to produce music since the MT-32 is integrated into
the card itself).
Was there a MCA version?
