Thanks for this.  MIDI interfaces are not a problem to me - Midiman do a
good range of devices for example. Its was the lack of the input jack on the
Ti that bothered me. I can't think why Apple decided to do this in my
vintage of TiBook.

I use Cubase VST Score 5 and it works fine on other models of Mac with
direct sound input, but it does not take clean inputs from the iMic.

Appreciated,
