I have a MusicQuest 2Port/SE that I recently had the same problem
with. If you email their technical support they will email you back
the driver. Their might even be a 32 bit driver for it. There was
for 2Port/SE. I think Opcode was in turn bought by Gibson, so you
will be dealing with them.
Another way to solve your problem is to get an inexpensive MIDI card
that works with the OS of your choice (most cheapo sound cards have
MIDI, for example) and then buy a MIDI router like the KMX MIDI
Central. This baby has 16 MIDI INs/OUTs, patch memory for 100 user
routings and the ability to MERGE IN/OUT pairs 1 and 2. Satnd alone,
requires no driver. You might be able to pick one up used somewhere
or an eBay, or find something similar that's still made.
Good luck!
