> The usb interface is a generic cheapo unit which is plug n play and did
not come with any drivers. It seems to work OK. I have tested sysex thruput
by doing a one way dump from a roland D110 to MIDI OX and it worked. The
handshake transfer does not seem to work.

application on the PC for this to occur. I'd like to at least be able to
save any patches I create. Not for the 1st time I regret getting rid of my
Atari ST

you should be able to test that--send a sysex dump to midi-ox. If it doesn't
see it, the usb interface is blocking sysex. (You say that note on and
program changes work, but did you test sysex messages?)
