About G-Port...

2005-11-22 Thread Juan Carlos De La Cruz

Greetings everyone!

I am the proud owner of a Blue  White G3, (between other Apples) and 
yes, I am very happy with it. Still, I am also a musician, and having 
my home studio currently working under Window$, am more than anxious to 
pass the bridge and start using my trusty Mac for music too.


The thing is, I have an external MIDI interface which I Love (The 
Midiman BiPort 2x4s) which is equipped to work on both Mac and PCs. The 
thing is, it only works on SERIAL ports on both platforms. My G3 lacks  
a serial port, thus having an ADB and USB ports only.



I am concerned there are several solutions for this, including some 
expensive external dongle kind of adapter which goes to USB and then 
ends up in a couple serial ports. But what I am really looking for is 
an adapter I´ve seen once, that replaces the modem (or connects to the 
modem socket, as my G3 didn´t came with one) and uses the modem serial 
port to drive an on-board serial connection, to which I could connect 
my MIDI interface.


I can remember it is called G-Port, but it has been pretty hard to 
find. I wonder whether anybody in the list either has one and is 
willing to sell it, or can help me locate one of these, at a decent 
price tag...



Thanks in advance!
