: But we're talking about a hardware gadget which connects to the parallel
: port on your PC (or whatever it connects to on the Miggy) anyway, so a
: sound card *is* the equivalent device.
The sound input _is_ the simplest way and is easily implemented with
no seperate interface standards getting in the way. The idea that the
parallel port interfaces should be standardised is sound and in no way
creates a threat to sound device loading. It is entirely
complementary.
And a good idea.
