Yes, it's still sold and used by many music typ= esetters working for major music publishing houses.

Here's what you need to do now: After starting DOSemu go into the directory where you have the vapimpu=20 driver. Start the driver like this: vapimpu If it succeeds, you're ready to rock, and you can launch SPG. If it=20 fails with a message about a bad or wrong IRQ, try this: vapimpu /IRQ:n where n equals some IRQ number (try 5, 3, or 7). There are other=20 considerations to make if that doesn't work, but give it a try first. > It's great to have someone who is experienced with MIDI input in Dose= mu! > =20 DOSemu was one of the reasons I switched to Linux. I'm a long-term user= =20 of Sequencer Plus, and I was never happy with Windows-based MIDI=20 sequencers. When I discovered that SPG would run under DOSemu I was=20 ecstatic, and that was with version 0.66. :) Since then I've been very= =20 happy and productive with this arrangement. I've used SPG as my=20 sequencer-of-choice for since 1986, first on MS-DOS, then under DOSemu=20 for the past thirteen years. You appear to have everything set up correctly, so let me know if you=20 get things working or not.
