Playing external MIDI modules or keyboards

You can use a MIDI sequencer on your Solo 2200 to play through external
MIDI modules or keyboards. To do this, you need one of the optional Solo
Docking Stations that has a MIDI/Game port. You also need a standard MIDI
breakout box that converts the Game port connector to standard 5-pin MIDI
In and Out connectors. The breakout box is not available from Gateway
2000, but can be obtained from various musical instrument retailers.
