Today i received my midiman mpu-401 device..
The floppys warent original.. I get an 1.44 MB HD floppy with software on and tested it and works.. So fast as i could, copy it to my harddisk, before the floppy could get corrupted..

Second floppy is an old blue DS/DD 720KN sony one.. But that one seemed to be a very bad floppy its making weird noises and its hard to read by the floppy drive. I can see the software on it, but one file couldnt be saved when i tried to recover the floppy..

Iam missing this floppy now:

401TEST.EXE ---- 12998
INSTALL.EXE ---- 21844
MM401.EXE ----- 275419
README ---- 6720
README.EXE ---- 3755

R8.LIB----------512
SYNCOFST.LIB----512
SYNCPLUS.LIB----512
SYNCSTOP.LIB----512
SYNCUSER.LIB----512

I have wrote the file name and size name on notepad, because its easier to regonize which floppy was very bad..

I could almoste recover eventhing accept: MM401.EXE..

So i want to ask the members over here.. Is there anyone that could me give me a copy of this disk?? Because its very hard to find on the internet.

~ At least it can do black and white~

Those MIDI interfaces (Midiman and Roland MPU) are truly Plug 'n' Play.

Just plug it in, and start playing games!

I have also send the seller on ebay a message, i hope they could send me the working one.. If i have it, you can get it from me too.. But let me know if you find something..

I think i have fixed it.. MM401.EXE wasnt that important file, because it was an extractor file with files that allready bin extracted in that directory...

Then i tested it and seemed working fine.. So if you dont overwrite the other files then its working great..

It justs fitts on a 720KB floppy disk.

And maybe the seller send me the new software..

Iam waiting on a fault less one from the seller.. If i receive it through my e-mail..
I will reupload those one two..

Bad copy pro said that 7.3 procent of the file mm401.exe was bad.. So i cant secure if it would work for 100%..

Here i have a copy of the ROM from the MIDIMAN MM-401 interface card:

http://www.megaupload.com/?d=PMDA4LHL

Its version 1.15 copyrighted at 1991.. So if you want to renew your ROM or fix a dead one.. You could use this one..

Here i post every ROM that i have ripped from the ROM with a programmer:

Every rom goes to this site:

No worries.

If you see any other errors, you can actually fix them yourself. The edit function is open to anybody, it's just protected by a CAPTCHA that you have to enter.

I have the same card - never needed any software: it 'just works', anything that needed the device type/driver specifying worked with a standard MPU401 driver or setting.
