Hello Daniel ! thanks for your advice ! The only computer (now definitely dead..) without problems with MIDI tasks was the old time Atari . It was my first one . Then i moved to a PC with Win95 and i had to part the HDD , one with DOS and the other with '95 . Some crashes with Windows but it works well with my EVS1 synth editor - librarian. The sequencer behaviour under 95 (BigBoss) was pretty good , for some unknown reason :-\ it finds the "MIDI - game" port . Dead too, and given to a school for parts. Now i have a bunch of brand new PCs all running XP and it's a disaster . The last one (with an "all in one " motherboard and an Athlon 64) is the worst , that's a shame because i wanted it for dedicated music or video-graphic applications (it is very quiet, no fan humming nor helicopter-like HDD or Cd drive spins !) . For video apps , i fitted easily a graphic card to replace the crap integrated one only good for office tasks . For sound it is quite impossible to disable the internal one , not bad at all for sound but without MIDI capabilities. I have to try again playing both with the BIOS and XP , the internal soundboard is not removable only with XP . You believe it's disabled , as the system parameters panel "says", but it's not . I agree with you for software synths simulators but i don't use any , impossible to play live or simply outside home. Cheers J.F.
