[ALUG] MIDI

I've decided it's about time I got back into playing with MIDI so I've been trying to work out the best way to get things working and I've come up with two options: 1) Does anyone have a spare PCI sound card with joystick port that they'd be willing to part with? I have coin. ;) 2) Does anyone have a better suggestion? Are there, for example, any USB midi devices that work well with linux? TVM and all that. S
