Using the MIDI/Joystick Port
The docking station provides the MIDI/joystick port as a functional
replacement for the same port on the computer. The MIDI signals
through this port are directly connected to the computer's MIDI
controller. Therefore, if your computer does not have a MIDI game
port, you cannot use the MIDI feature.
The game controller for the joystick is added in the docking station.
The computer may or may not have a game controller, depending on
the model, but whenever it is docked in the docking station, the game
controller in the docking station is available and takes control. The
game controller in the computer, if the feature is installed, will be
disabled.
Also, the game controller in the docking station must share the
computer resources with some Sound Blaster–compatible ISA adapter
cards, if installed. Therefore, the game controller on the docking
station is disabled by an enable/disable jumper on the docking station
system board, as a default setting. When you use a joystick
connected to the docking station, the enable/disable jumper must be
set to the enable position.
To use the MIDI/joystick port, do the following:
1
Turn off the computer, and remove the power cord from the
SelectaDock system.
2
Connect a MIDI connector or a joystick cable to the port
