I have horible delay in win xp through USB-midi
Win98 having BSOD when I to to install drivers 🙁
So I need something more convenient
Laptop is Sony PCG-505TR with FM synth on it. Pretty cool laptop, thin and light.
Later laptops doing USB-MIDI just fine since like PIII, but - there is no FM anymore
I would like to have some pcmcia card with midi support. Only card I have is REX 5570, but it is stricted to W95 only, I can't make it work even in W98 🙁

Through the setup.exe, i turned off built in sound card to avoid conflicts and then still nothing. Exclamation point in device manager saying probably I need to update my drivers

You need to disable the integrated sound in the BIOS. Otherwise there still will be resource conflicts...

I did and it is still doing that in device manager. I also reinstall the driver again, just to make sure there is no leftovers... 🙁

Just point the device manager to the .inf file from the rex5570.exe archive.
Just extract the .exe in a folder somewhere yourself.
Can you post a scrrenshot of the device manager with the Ratoc card properties open?

I was able to run it once! It was being some Melody and i was happy and then It's beeping twice and looks like error. So only thing i run is W95 on Compaq Elite LTE. That's the best I achieved
