Re: prodatum classic beta now

2009-07-16 by steve_the_composer

I have a Windows 98 PC nearby. I will try to test Beta 0.37 on it some time today. The test will probably be with the built-in sound card's midi port. (I know I have a few joystick/MIDI cables here someplace.) I believe its still (or mostly) a 1999 vintage Aptiva, probably with the original sound card drivers.
