Hello guys, recently while I was perusing the local thrift stores I came across thing thing for 5$ and being a bit of a musician and a retro hardware junkie I couldn't pass it up. It came with the keyboard, power adapter and the manual but no gameport to midi cable or any software of any kind. I can buy another cable quite easily off ebay but what I cannot seem to find is a copy of the software and drivers that would have shipped with it.
So I'm looking for a bit of help here, can someone who has a copy of the diskettes or CD provide me with a digital copy?
Any help is appreciated, if you can find it online even I would be most grateful, but it seems that there is no digital backups out there to be had or at least none that I could find.

Thanks in advance to anyone who can help me out.

Here are some photo's of the box. I'll upload some pictures of the actual keyboard later.

Appears you can buy it here:

There's also something here but IDK what:
http://www.driverguide.com/driver/detail.php?driverid=122882
(see: DriverGuide.com’s Not-so-surprising Scammy Tactics)

You shouldn't need it to get it working though AFAIK, example:

That's a different model, mine uses the gameport on the older soundcards to hook up to the computers. It's from 1994.

However the link from driverguide looks like it could be good, I downloaded it and everything in the file is dated 1994 so that's a good sign. Thanks! Hopefully this is it. 😁

Oh nvm I read it wrong. But still I'm going to try and run it on a vintage system so USB is right out.
