Hi, If I followed all this, I would start by checking the usb aspect itself. likewise, just as an extra test, can you connect the synthesizer directly to your box, as in is there a serial port working on the box running freedos? that too would help isolate the problem. if it works fine without

Windows, especially NT based Windows, is beyond the scope of Freedos. Unfortunately, there have been suggestions to look at the ReactOS project. I think this transcript which needs to get out despite the rules details why the ReactOS project is a disaster that needs to be cleaned up. Anyone can

Hi Mike, Please, someone go ahead and get the code, form another community, and continue development if this project is still worthwhile. Pity to hear that you are so disappointed about them, but of course you can only wait and lobby... I mean if people need a WinNT/Win2k or maybe even newer

Freedos has it's place. Unlike ReactOS, Freedos actually works most of the time. Partially due to the fact the Freedos is based on something that is far less complex of course. This is OT, but the relevance is that people suggest using ReactOS if and when Windows is wanted here. As far as don't

Hi Ralf, my idea was that the serial hardware device to USB hardware port conversion was done in hardware, so either covered by working hardware or hopeless... Next step is getting from real USB port to anything accessible inside a VM and I had the idea that a typical VM shows USB to guests as
