i have found in e-bay a roland CM-32 esternal module, but when i have open the box, two bad surprise...
the power unit is japanese (120V 60Hz) and no midi cable.
i can buid the power unit myself (i study electronic) but the cable is the problem....
i must use the midi port in my sound blaster 64, but i don't know how assembly the cable (the pin connection).
someone have a solution?
is it a simply cable, or a interface?
thanks to everyall

Why not just get a joystick port to MIDI cable?

That's what that schematic is for. One of those cables.

(to connect to the joystick port of a sound card)

I have a Sound Blaster Audigy Platinum (Pro?) with the breakout box. This box has both midi in and out connection at the back (same plugs that you find on the back of your Cm-32). That's where I connect my CM-64 (my MT-32 is connected to the CM-64's pass through connection).
Then I have a cable from the audio output of the CM-64 connected to the breakout box' rear line-in ports.

I use that cable to connect my MT-32 to the MIDI/joystick port on my PC.
