I am guessing your synth is on what DOS would call com1. As such it would be sharing an IRQ with com3. Since they share an IRQ when you issue a command for the synth, it must wait in line for the activity on com3 to subside. The answer isn't drivers. The answer is reconfigure your hardware. In dos you can actually make continous use of com1 com2 and com5. Skip 3 and 4. ======= Kirk Wood Cpt.Kirk at 1tree.net
