Hi, I don't really know much about this, so
sorry if I use the wrong words for stufff. I'm
considering buying an old Performa 6214
from somebody for twenty bucks. I'm
thinking about using it mostly for MIDI
stuff because I've heard that the interface
is cheaper than the USB kind I'd need for
the iMac. My uncle started Opcode or
something so I can probably get a driver.
I've got a MIDI keyboard with the cable
thingies--what more do I need? Thanks....

invest the money you safe by not bying the
performa to buy an usb midi interface.
Other wise: for the performa you'll need a
midi interface for the serial port: cheapest
should cost about 40 or 50$ with one
midi in and two midi out (and a serial
through port ?)

good luck and enjoy music

Hmm..well, the thing is, the performa I
was going to buy was only 20 bucks,
monitor and all, and since maybe I can
also get a midi interface for a serial port
for free probably (since my uncle's got
junk lying around from up to 1998 but no
later), I was wondering if it was worth it...it
might still be, I'll think about it
