Re: USB to Midi In/Out

2002-08-08 by ubec2002

Do I need DOS 6.22 or earlier?  Reason for asking is that my hardisk 
is FAT32 and over 2Gb.  That means if I boot with DOS 6.22 or 
earlier, I can't copy the .fil files over to my Hard Drive since the 
OS won't see it.  

I guess I can always use another diskette (with copy a: b: command) 
before converting it to midi.  I sure don't want to overwrite my 
original diskettes.

Thanks again for this one.  It would have been a major disaster :-)
