Yes I do have a good DOS MIDi player for Sound Blaster. It;'s called
PLAYMIDI.EXE and needs to be run by PLAYMIDI.BAT because it loads a
driver before it plays and unloads the driver afterwards. You only
have to edit your MIME.CFG to allopw it to play for Arachne. It works
fine for me. I'd be glad to ZIP it to you, just let me know. I have a
lot of other stuff too.
