You don't need to keep the /:MPU:330 in your batch
file. With this version you just start it with it once
and it works.
To detect the K5, make sure that in the K5's MIDI
config menu Exclusive TRS and RCV are set to ON before
starting Overtone if you haven't used it for a long
time.
The changes are listed in the read.me file. It's
mostly bug fixes and more interfaces support. My
version is also on 4x 5\ufffd" floppies. (Yes, I still have
a working 5\ufffd" drive in my computer. Stole it from an
XT when the HDD died.)
Also I don't think it works directly in Windows. In my
case, I have to boot in DOS mode.(No such thing under
XP tho) You could use a DOS emulator also. I think the
name is DOSbox.
