The software he wants to use (Bars&Pipes) uses camd.library. I just see (sadly I lack real MIDI knowledge) always mention that CAMD would be used through USB, but not sure if
this means in the OS4 version it NEEDS to be USB, or if this is just the most modern way to access it and other options exist too.
I checked the archive though, and in there I found the following drivers:
- Soundblaster MIDI port
- Envy 24HT Driver (no idea what this even is!)
- x1000 onboard UART
- Onboard Gameport MIDI Driver which references especially the VIA686 chip. At best my knowledge this chip was only used in the Amiga x1000.
Asides from this there is the other archive with USB Support.
So this sounds to me that the following options exist:
- Soundblaster MIDI port
- x1000 (these options will not work on x5000 or Sam!!!): Serial interface or Gameport
- USB - as far as I understand it should work on non-x1000 as well
- Envy 24HT (whatever this is)
Unsure if the Soundblaster MIDI port version has requirements to specific Amiga models
Best regards,
