Just as an example, not an endorsement:

   From Skyles Electric Works: MIDI IN, 2 MIDI OUT, and MIDI THRU
                               for the Amiga.
                               $49.95 (Amiga 500 and 1000)
                               $59.95 (Amiga 2000)

   It plugs into the RS-232 port.

I think Mimetics also has a MIDI Interface with similar features and price.

Overall, I feel that the Amiga is by far a better computer, and that the 500
should settle and objections as to the price.

Of course, that's only my opinion, unlike the "fact" that the ST has more
support. :-)
