At the rear of your Computer you will find the MIDI-/Game
port-Interface. Here you can connect control equipment like
a joystick, gamepad or steering wheel. In general these con-
trollers are used in games or simulations to gain realistic and
easy control of the program. Steering Wheels can add a real-
istic feeling to racing games.
MIDI is a standard that enables exchange of data between key-
boards and similar equipment for musicians. Data is sent to the
respective equipment via DIN cable. The common environment
of a MIDI-implication is:
• Keyboard plays passages or single notes in a sequencer
program.
• The sequence is edited in the PC and stored as a MIDI-
File.
• The PC controls the MIDI-equipment (sound creation of
keyboard, Sampler, etc.).
To be able to work with MIDI you will need an adapter cable
that is connected to the MIDI/Game port.
This adapter can be purchased in music specialty shops.

• Devices connected directly to the USB bus should
not draw more than 500 mA. The voltage output is
protected by a fuse (Limited Power Source according
to EN 60950). Should the devices need more
power than this, it will be necessary to provide a
hub (distributor / booster).
On the USB (drawing reference: E) it is possible to connect up
to 127 devices which correspond to the USB standard (1.1
and 2.0 supported). The data transfer speed for USB 1.1 is
1.5 Mbit or 12 Mbit, depending on the device connected.
USB 2.0 can reach up to 480 Mbit.
