MOTM

I have a MusicQuest 2Port/SE that I recently had the same problem 
with.  If you email their technical support they will email you back 
the driver.  Their might even be a 32 bit driver for it.  There was 
for 2Port/SE.  I think Opcode was in turn bought by Gibson, so you 
will be dealing with them.

Another way to solve your problem is to get an inexpensive MIDI card 
that works with the OS of your choice (most cheapo sound cards have 
MIDI, for example) and then buy a MIDI router like the KMX MIDI 
Central.  This baby has 16 MIDI INs/OUTs, patch memory for 100 user 
routings and the ability to MERGE IN/OUT pairs 1 and 2.  Satnd alone, 
requires no driver.  You might be able to pick one up used somewhere 
or an eBay, or find something similar that's still made.

Good luck!

Mike
