Is there a problem if i have two MPU-401 interfaces at address 330?
I have an AWE32 CT3900 with Roland SCB-55 and its set to MPU0-401 address 330, and i also want to include an Midi Land interface which has only the following settings:

330, 332, 334, 336 address, and IRQ 2, 3, 5, 7 (Some system thing is already at 2 so i cant use it on 2, no sound from games, so i set it to 5, but AWE32 is on 5)

Yes that will cause problems.

What motherboard do you have?

On mine I use:

AWE64 Gold 220-7-1-5-300
MPU-401AT 2/9-330

Put Roland SCB-55 on Midi Land (use MIDI THRU if you have more units). I have four daisy chained that way.

MidiLand does not have an Wave Table interface, also I was thinking of constructing one, but im better off with finding an SC-55 MKII.

The motherboard is HP Vectra 5 XU

I set Midi Land to IRQ 7 / 332 Address , I mainly want to use it with MT32 for now.

Ok, another option:

- Remove MIDI Land
- Set AWE to 220 - 7 - 1 - 5 - 330
- Use SoftMPU for intelligent mode games

Hmm. Id like to avoid soft MPU because i probably wont touch those games that hate non intelligent mode.
Selling the DB and getting an SC-55 MKII is a good idea, but AWE32 with SCB-55 mounted on it is very bad ass 😀

I found one SC-55 MKII for 70 euro in Serbia, i asked for pictures. Being pretty pricey, plus my pay pal is dumb, i will think about it.

MK2 for 70eur is a good deal in my book
