Looking for an old MIDI interface (ISA) for use in DOS.

If you have one of these lying around I'm interested. 
Trying to put together a DOS based system. 
Also on lookout for earlier ad-lib, soundblaster type of cards.
As well as a DOS based version of Cakewalk :)
 
Hope this is a good place to put this notice.

    There were tons of ISA combo cards (sound card and MIDI).  A search on ebay for "midi isa card" turns up quite a few, though you will have to buy the breakout cable separately.
     
    Here's one new in the box:

    Thanks for the suggestion, but it's to new for me. I'm more on the look out for 80's early 90's stuff. Roland, Midiman, Voyetra etc dedicated MIDI cards. Secondarily for sound cards up to Soundblaster Pro.

    Something like a MusicQuest MQX-32M?

    Yes, that's the sort of thing I'm looking for. Do you have one you want to part with ?
