Hello,
I want to connect a small Creative MIDI keyboard to an Acer Extensa 500T, I need a PCMCIA card ending with a Soundblaster compatible joystick/MIDI connector (the keyboard also takes power from it) and of course I'd like to find Linux-friendly hardware.
I saw one from Argosy, but I only find on the "Linux hardware compatibility HOWTO" at http://nexus.odessa.ua/files/books/howto/Hardware-HOWTO-24.html that work is being done on a Roland SCP-55 (I can't reach infos about it on the WEB except that it works on Windowses up to 95, I don't know if this card has full SB joystick connector or only standard MIDI connectors, which is more likely the case being Roland that makes it). An e-mail message to the address ir9k-nkt@asahi.net.or.jp which is marked as the driver developer's one returned with an error, Toshiaki Nakatsu may have a new one.
Appearently there is already almost one other Argosy-related driver on Linux (http://www.jmas.co.jp/FAQs/linux/howto/Hardware-HOWTO/part2), so are there any chances about that card for future times?
Any other brandname+model? I would be glad to e-mail possible such companies to ask... I mean introducing myself as a Linux enduser... of course somebody with a "weight" in the Linux-kernel development could have greater precision and effect in asking about possible NDA's...
Well thanks as lot for any info. Nicola
P.S.: saw this site http://pacher.netliberte.org/UK/e_sound.htm but don't know if it has anything to do with the Linux community, I'll try.
