midi PCMCIA

[Stephen J. Parise]

	Many MIDI interfaces use the Parallel and Serial Ports (Desktop and
Notebook computers).  About a year ago I assisted a film composer to setup
an Opcode Interface (Port 2se or something like that), it cost around
$100-$250, and was connected to his notebook PC for mobile composing.

	I recommend interfaces by Mark of the Unicorn, the Midi Time Piece A/V in
particular (it's $500+).  They have other cheaper models but I'm not
familiar with them.

	Also, an interface with timecode will come in handy.  Some cheaper models
have them.
