Midi and SGI… does it exist?

Hi there,  
I was wondering are there any [affordable] MIDI systems for  
the SGI IRIX platform? Or could you simply connect a PC one  
and use specific drivers?

I need the real time midi data in my SGI for animation.

Thanks

I have used my Macintosh (Mark of the Unicorn -  
[www.motu.com](http://www.motu.com)) MIDI interface with my SGI Octane  
for years. I think they designed SGIs to be mac-compatible  
when it came to MIDI.

It is a fairly old interface, though.
