Hey, I am trying an interesting experiment with my Power Mac 6100/60 and my eMac G4.
Basically, I have a whole bunch of MIDI files generated by Master Tracks Pro 4 from ages ago, these files are on my Power Mac. Unfortunately I don't have a MIDI compatible with my power mac, so what I've done is wired my Power Mac and eMac together using MIDI cables and adapters. The eMac is receiving the data in its MIDI IN (MIDI Monitor shows this, I can show the logs if necessary), but I need some method of recording this data to a MIDI Recorder or Sequencer program. What software should I use on my eMac to record this incoming midi data? I've tried a bunch of programs but none of them are what I need. GarageBand was my first idea but it says "MIDI drivers are conflicting" and won't load at all. Any tips at all would be helpful.  Thanks.

Hi. my two cents...
I guess you have to save those midi files as "Standard Midi File" format, so you can send them anywhere keeping their content. I guess you should do that on the first computer, so when you move them, they travel as SMF... Then, even Garage Band or Quictime should be capable of make them sound properly... I hope this could be of any help...
