Is there any ^^^^^^^^^^^^^ > other way of converting MOD files to standard midi files? I suspect that is the trouble. Using different timers probably does not help when only using I serial port. Wild quess with nothing to back it up, but 2 serial port + 2 midi interfaces + differerent timers MIGHT work. Would also depend on how fast your system is (and the configurability of at least on of the programs). Can the system keep up to both those ports, at the rate the midi data is moving around? No info on converting the MOD files. > -Rick > > rick_younie@mindlink.bc.ca > bugz@cynic.wimsey.bc.ca H.
