James, sorry to hear about all your woes. I do not have your set up
but I used to. I had Win 95 with a SB16 using the gameport to send
midi to a Yamaha PSR620. Sometimes it worked, sometimes it didnt. My
solution was a money one. I upgraded to Win 98 and bought a midi card
for my PC. All the challenges went away. Win 98 is much better for
multimedia and a separate midi card solves many challenges. I suggest
you upgrade to Win98 (clean install) and buy a winman midiman 2x2
midi interface card. If you email me your address, I will burn you a
copy of WIN98 SE, much to the joy of Micro$oft. You should be able to
pick up a midiman interface on ebay for about £30. Keep searching on
ebay, one will come up.
As for people moaning about not editing posts, don`t let it bother
you. There will always be people who moan. The world is full of
people with nothing better to do than moan. The old adage that you
cannot please all of the people all of the time is always true.
Sorry I cannot help with your existing hardware, but I know upgrading
will definately help.
Be well
Alan (who doesn`t edit posts)
