Hi,
does anyone know the difference between Roland's MPU-401 and
MPU-IPC.
Thanx Guy.

| 1955.1 | One's a card, one's a box. | RAINBO::LICHTENBERG | Mitch Lichtenberg | Mon Apr 10 1989 19:59 | 17 |
I think this may have been discussed somewhere else in this conference,
but...
I believe the only difference between them is that the MPU-401 is
in a metal box, connected to the PC via a short cable (you have
to buy a small card, MIF-IPC, to put in the PC). The MPU-IPC is
a PC card with the guts of an MPU-401 on the card. There are
connectors on the card that you hook up to your gear.
The MPU-IPC probably has newer ROM firmware on it than most MPU-401s
around... and you can only use it on a PC. With the right MIF-xxx
card, you can use an MPU-401 on other computers (Apple II's come
to mind)
/Mitch.
