Explanation

MIDI (Musical Instrument Digital Interface) ports were traditionally included on sound cards, sharing the same DB-15 connector used for game ports. Adding a sound card to the PC would provide the MIDI port Joe needs to connect his MIDI device. Network Interface Cards (NICs) provide Ethernet connectivity, TV capture cards enable video input from television sources, and video cards handle graphics output - none of these include MIDI ports.
