Is there such a thing???

[mutt]

Is there a way to connect my TASCAM 564 digital 4 track via the SP/DIF output (through some type of adaptor) to my computer through my midi cables which are connected to my soundcard (the standard 5-pin in & out midi cables connected via the game/joystick port sound card. I know I can buy another soundcard with SPDIF I/O, but will it work okay the other way ( or - IS THERE SUCH A THING??? as I described)

Sorry Mutt- that's a big NO on that audio through a MIDI port idea. Wave Audio at even 16 bit/44.1KHz/stereo quality requires >1411Kbps to support it. The MIDI port itself has a much slower transfer rate even though both are moving digital data.
