Are you asking "could I use this MIDI interface on an IBM computer ?", or "Could I use the MIDI interface to connect my Amiga to an IBM computer ?" The answer to the first question is, probably not. Most Amiga MIDI interfaces connect to the serial port. If the connector is like a socket rather than a plug with pins it is serial. Although the data interface is standard RS-232 the connector also has some extra power supply pins which are not standard and most MIDI interfaces are powered from these. Also, most IBM MIDI software expects to find the interface on an expansion card rather than connected to the serial port. The answer to the second question is you could transfer MIDI information between any two computers with sequencers. Just connect MIDI Out on the render to MIDI in on the receiver, set the receiver to record and the sender to play. Hope this is of some help Peter Wade Autopiloting from London, England
