Mini DIN 5 pin plug connector Qty. 1
5 wire cable Qty. Your required length. Mine was about 15cm.

The image shows solder side of the connectors. Connect points as shown in the diagram (1-1,2-2, …5-5). Test the connections with a multimeter and make sure that they are correct. Connect the cable to MIDI board and MIDI sound module via MIDI Standard cable.

Example:

Try playing music on X68k with Z-music or other music system software. If MIDI sound module is receiving the MIDI message, then your job is finished.
