    Description

    Looking for a way to hook up your MT32 or other MIDI module to your vintage DOS gaming machine? The HardMPU is an intelligent mode MPU401 compatible MIDI interface! It even has some extra features that the MPU401 does not, such as SysEx delay to prevent locking up your MT32 in certain games that try to provide SysEx data faster than the MT32 can handle. This card has been hand assembled in the USA and tested to ensure it is ready to go. Includes the card itself packed in an antistatic bag, and MIDI interface cable.
    New with version 2.0: By popular demand, the HardMPU now has a wavetable header! Use it like a MPU-401AT and put your Dreamblaster or similar card directly onboard. Audio output is via a CD-ROM audio style connector so it can be connected directly to a sound card. MIDI output is directed to the rear MIDI connector by default but can be switched to the wavetable header via the configuration utility.
    PLEASE NOTE this card uses an ISA interface. It will not work in a computer that does not have an ISA slot. Please check for compatibility before buying. Also please be aware that existing sound cards in your system may conflict with the HardMPU card. You will need to disable MPU401 functionality on other cards or move their MPU401 interface to another I/O port.
