Hello all,
I am new to this forum so a few words about me :
I'm 37 and a great nostalgic of 80's and 90's !
I have a Gateway 2000 1994 tower that I love : Pentium 100 (upgraded to 133), 64 MB, Windows 95.
I used so far a SB16 with Orchid Wavebooster 4FX daughterboard then a NEC XR385 (DB60XG).
Last week I bought a Roland SC88 Pro and an AWE64 Gold to have a high quality ISA board with good SNR ratio.
Everything is fine except one thing :
When I try to play games within a DOS session in Windows 95 I can't use the external MIDI (Roland). All the MIDI is routed internally to the AWE64 synthesizer.
In any Win95 app, the external MIDI port is well used.
In pure DOS, the external MIDI port is also used.
The problem is only in a DOS box within Windows.
I read in this forum that a workaround exists : disable the Creative MIDI in Windows device manager : it works well but I find this workaround not so elegant.
Do you have any idea ?
How are you using your external MIDI expander connecting to an AWE 32 or 64 within a DOS session ?
Thank you very much for your help !
