Seeking printer card recommendation for midi

I have an IBM PS/2 with a 66Mhz 486 chip that I want to use for doing midi sequencing under Windows 3.1.  I bought a midi adapter for the printer port and discovered that I could get midi out, but not midi in.  I've been told that the problem is probably having an older, unidirectional printer port.  I'd like to replace the printer card with a (hopefully) inexpensive bidirectional upgrade.  Can anyone recommend a card that will work properly with this hardware/sofware configuration?  Is the microchannel architecture of the machine an issue?  BTW, I'm not planning on using it to do printing!

Can you give me some idea of what to look for and how and how to make the appropriate changes.  I'm a babe-in-the-woods when it comes to PC Bios.

BTW, I believe that my cousin installed a new version of the BIOS on this machine about 6 months ago (but is not available to help me with this).
