Well now this brings the question: where the hell do I get a serial MIDI interface for PC? Any recommended models I should search for?
Check my other stickied post yo about MS-DOS music making... Some of us have the Portman PC/S or PC/P (parallel), they seem to be the ones that are easier to find.
I am going to get one of my windows 98 machines up and running tonight with the sb16 or awe32... and I was gonna try out both the PC/S and PC/P and maybe the MPU-401 setup, I shall report my results.
ive been trying to get my portman pc/s working for a while now with no avail. let me know if you get it working!
Are you running it with the power adapter or without?
me and my cat will be groovin' to this later.
ah that looks pretty neat.
damn you bumping people. for a sec there i thought it was a new record. then i saw the 2010 and...........: (
ha. I did too!
But thanks for the lovey dovies my lovelies!! 
Tank Girl
Judge Dredd
Heavy Metal
Demolition Man (?) not sure if this one qualifies as post apocalyptic, but we all know about the massive earthquake of 2010 that destroyed most of Los Angeles causing it to merge with San Diego.
dang that is fast.. and it sounds like "children's story" by slick rick.. heh.
Ok messed around with the PC/P device in dos.. The light does get activity from the MIDI signals in, so I know its getting power correctly... but no go in Impulse Tracker, as far as "plug n play" is concerned. There is driver support for Windows 98/98 however which I have the disk.. But that doesn't help me out! I did some searching on their site as well, and it does say "No longer supported in DOS" 
But that sounds like it was supported in DOS at one point, and just needs it to be configured properly.. Hmmmmmmm
And thanks for reminding me about the midi stuff.. I've been trying things out with various devices... so when the parallel port device arrives.. I'll update the main info page about which midi devices work and which don't/or are a mega hassle.
I have a Portman PC/S device as well, but Im pretty it needs external power from a power adapter which I do not have.. I just bought a Portman PC/P, which uses the parallel port and doesn't need any external power source.. so im hoping to get that to work when it arrives. The easiest method is through a gameport obviously.
Is this a desktop or laptop you are running? The all-in-one is what you are trying to do DOS tracking on and midi?

We had a IIGS, circa '86-87, and I remember Conan and Arcade Boot Camp fondly. My favorite games were probably Zany Golf, King's Quest and Tass Times in Tone Town.
Did you ever have some cooking game? I have been trying to think of the name of it, but no luck with any research. You play a baker and have to assemble food items.. kind of like a mini-game style.
ooops, just realized I already posted in here! ha, and its an old thread !!
