I don't think...the IBM Thinkpad 365xd laptop BIOS does not allow big changes to devices. I also found a dos tool called ESSCFG which allows to change irq, dma and, of course, mpu401. Obviously the mpu401 port can be 300, 310, 320, 330....but not other values. Actually the Roland SCP-55 is a great …

I'm using win98se. I go to control panel. then system, then devices properties. Not all the settings for I/O can be changed. The settings for ss1688 I/O are 330-331 and there's no way to change them

I wanna do this but I can't!

The SCP-55 I/O port can be changed. I set it to 300-330 but conflict happens with es1688. The real problem is that I can change Roland scp-55 I/O port (it has a large range, it can be, for example, 300, 370 etc.) ) but I can't change the ES1688 port. Its range is limited to 300-330. Basically I …

Apparently the es1688 mpu401 port can only be 300-300..... There are no solutions

I'm trying to do this, but I get conflicts........

Ah! Of course I cannot change I/O values relatives to MIDI in the control panel...

Hello, lolo799! The SCP-55 works well under win98se to play mp3s etc. Midi works under other applications.... Also I tried Impulse Tracker (the developers were smarter...) which gives the possibility to choose a generic MPU401 driver.....(launching:"it /s19 /a370).....In my case the Roland has the …

The main problem is the midi port at address 330..................

Ok..... The card work in windows 98 and probably in dos..... but fastracker 2.08 only accepts Gravis Ultrasound or Sound Blaster..... I think I must give up 🙁

I still have errors installing cardservices.....

And also... did you tried similar conditions?

Ok, now I'm formatting the hard disk and reinstalling dos 7.1 After that?

Sorry I don't find socket services around the net...only cardsoft...please help me!!!!!!!

I tried to install Card Soft for the roland scp-55 on a DOS sistem but the setup says "cardsoft is not supported on this platform" so i cannot enable the card...do you have suggestions? Anybody can use fastracker's midi capabilities with the roland card?

I found the Roland SCP-55 with the breakout box MCB-3 online...Now i'm waiting for them, I will tell you if it works! Thank you everybody for the interest! @Spaces: OpenMPT is very good (it's open source too), but I think the best tracker now is Renoise...It's a very powerfull modern DAW... But my …

Hello! I have an old laptop with windows 98 and Dos installed. I often use Fastracker II for music composing. This software has also a MIDI out option for sequencing external hardware (samplers, synths...) but my laptop doesn't have the midi/joystick port. I have also a Midiman Portman PC/S (a …
