Hi, I was wondering if someone could help me out with this one.
I'm trying to get my Midi keyboard (oxygen 8 version 1) working on an old beige G3 computer running OS 9.2.1 which originally didn't have USB ports. I've bought a USB 1.1 PCI card and installed it and I know it's working because I have managed to connect and print to a USB printer through it.
I've installed Reason 1.1 on it and OMS 2.8 (I think) and the oxygen 8 installer disk but the keyboard it not playing through Reason - in Reason preferences I get a keycontroller keycontroller-1 which both allow a green tick next to them if I wish.
1. Is there some setting up to be done in OMS before the keyboard will work ?
2. Am I correct if in saying if the USB port works to print, it should work with midi devices too.

I would delete and start over again. The reason Oxygen 8 is not listed is because OMS has not been updated for about 10 years now, and also OMS is generally used with a USB midi interface hooked up to a midi instrument via MIDI cables... So I'm not sure if OMS will recognize your M-Audio at all. If you can not get it to work, there was another program called Free MIDI.

In case you run again in a problem MIDI related, first rule with OMS is to delete OMS, and the eventual drivers MIDI related you have, then reinstall from scratch first OMS then the interface
It's a bit dumb on the edges for a long time and it solves 99% of the problems.
After that you do your OMS config again as usual (you don't use the old one, it won't do save in the trash and go)
