You need a USB MIDI converter, pretty much... there's no serial port
support in OS X.
Let me know if such a device exists ... I believe someone told me once
that USB signals were too different from serial signals, and such a box
wasn't feasible.
That's why I tried the M-Audio 2496 PCI controller, going the PCI bus
route, and steering clear of the serial port bus ...
I would investigate other controllers for audio on a PCI Mac ...
M-Audio doesn't offer support, and I think their drivers aren't yet up
to snuff ... at least I have trouble on my legacy mac, which they come
out and state they don't support - and they don't respond to inquiries.
Perhaps the Tiger drivers would work on a legacy Mac whereas Panther
level ones are at best flaky.
Maybe hit and miss ... but you'd have a shot at MIDI and good audio I/O
with the M-Audio 2496.
