Hey there! I'm after a Roland LAPC-I midi card. In box is great but I am cool with just a loose card. Message me if you got one!

From now on we will require that a prefix is set for any items in the sales area. We have created regions and locations for this. We also require that you select a delivery option before posting your listing. This will hopefully help us streamline the things that get listed for sales here and help local people better advertise their items, especially for local only sales. New sales rules are also coming, so stay tuned.

Well, you do say 'Message me if you got one'! However, mine is very much still in use, and it's NOT for sale, at the moment.
Wondering what you're planning to do with one, if you find one?
Mine is still fitted into an old PC (it needs the 8 bit ISA slot, although manages with a 16 bit slot). If I can no longer find a working PC with an ISA slot I'll be in trouble. I use the MT-32 Synth part from time to time, but mainly it's used as the midi card so that software can work with the external devices (currently attached are a Yamaha MU90r and a Korg NS5r). Mainly do a lot of playing with midi files, although I've got some Virtual stuff (using SynthFont) on the main PC if I want to be a bit less 'retro'.
I've got piles of stull re MT-32, patches, prog utils etc. Also got some rather nice midi files specifically set for MT use, which I do play from time to time switching audio output to the MT rather than the Yamaha etc..
Most people looking for the Roland card seem to be into retro gaming, this is something I've barely touched. On the rare occasions I've got time for games, if there's sound, I'd turn it off. I might try the music while NOT playing, just for technical interest.
