There is a limit of eight MIDI devices per card, so the snd-usb-audio driver makes multiple ports available as subdevices that are multiplexed through one device node. This works fine when using the ALSA API, but the OSS API is too simple for that. (Using /dev/midi01 will open the first free subdevice.) You can load the snd-virmidi driver and connect its ports to the MidiSport ports. (This works for any sequencer ports that you want to access as an OSS /dev/midi* file). > i'll try the ez-usb-midi loader next and see if that helps .. This isn't a firmware issue. HTH Clemens
