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!
