convert db50xg to stand alone midi device? - 11/17/99 11:06 AM

Hi all,

I'm new to this list and I wonder if any expert out there could give me some insight on the following topic:

I want to upgrade my "antique" SB AWE32 to a new sond card: namely the ISIS from Guillemot. However the later doesn't have a waveblaster connector to connect the DB50XG. Of course I want to keep that one (can't live without it, can I?)
Therefore, the only solution woulb be to built a small box to protect, power and connect the DB50XG to the new sound card as a external Midi unit.

Anybody know if it feasible with some solder iron skills or available commercially.

TIA

Marc

Requires soldering knowledge!'
