hey there john;
this interface stems from mid/late 1980s;
back then mpu-401 was basically the defacto standard;
so what u have is basically voyetras version/clone of the roland mpu-401 interface
the roland version consisted of a card + an external box; they have basically made a version that doesnt require
the external box; the original roland version was made in 1983 or so; this one would have been made around 1988 i think; so its a more modern version of the older classic/standard; see my previous post here:
http://www.oldschooldaw.com/forums/index.php?topic=2371.0it functions 100% identical to the original roland mpu-401; ie: it should use the same resources (IRQ settings) etc
it was originally made for DOS; but im sure there are drivers for early versions of windows; i think the most modern os it will handle
if you want to learn more about your interface just look up mpu-401 :
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/MPU-401"While MPU-401 support is no longer included in Windows Vista, a driver is available on Windows Update."
so there you go windows XP is the last windows version that includes mpu-401 driver support; but apparently
vista has a driver you can install; so it may even be possibel to run it on windows 7 32-bit; i wouldnt try using it with any 64bit operating systems; in fact personally i wouldnt even use it on XP; the whole point of using an mpu-401 is usually to get suport under DOS + early versions of windows; ie: win3.11 or win95/98
