hi carl , i was wondering if you have those drivers and would be kind
enough
to send to me for midi quest ,
i use the atari version(of midi quest) ,
and you guessed it , i can't get mine to work using midi quest ,i have
drivers but am missing the templates,

i am in the process of writing my own cz101 editor but its for use on
the
atari i mailily use for midi

but i wrote it using the atari emulator which runs on windows..

i know of couple good ones which work in the emulator that windows xp
can
power.

any how look forward to hear back from you !

charles
