I don't know if anyone had the same issues I did, but running Finale 2002 in classic under 10.2, I used OMS as my MIDI driver (FreeMIDI never worked), I could use my USB MIDI devices, but playback was, well, wonky at best. This may be because I'm not the best at mapping MIDI devices, and since playback was of least importance to me, I never bothered to find a fix for it.
That having been said, when I used 9.2 as my main boot, OMS worked perfectly and FreeMIDI never worked with Finale, Digital Performer, yes, Finale, No. CoreMIDI on the other hand (or bus) works wonderfully, I never even think about the devices or playback, it just works. I guess that's the beauty of having support built in to the OS.
