Emu XL-7 & MP-7 User's Group

I love this group.  This is the best-supported piece of gear I have 
ever owned.  Thanks everyone for all the feedback!

I tried resetting my MIDI interface several times- even unplugged it 
and rebooted.  Changed out MIDI cables with new ones.  No luck.  This 
is so odd.

Nope; just E-Loader.

I've tried that many times.

Mac OS 9.0.4
MRJ version 2.2.4 
Java Version 1.1.8
OMS 2.3.8
MIDISport2x2 Driver 1.0.0

XL7 OS version 1.01

Nope.  This is the first OS upgrade I have tried to do.

I wonder if I have the current Java version.  Where can I check to 
see if this needs to be upgraded?

I see that MIDIMAN has version 1.1.2 of the drivers for my 
MIDISport.  I'll update those tonight and see where it gets me.
