DOWS DRIVER INSTALLATION procedure and instead follow
the UPDATING THE WINDOWS DRIVER procedure.
5. Push the “Add” button.
6. Select the “Unlisted or Updated Driver” entry and push the
“OK” button.
7. You will be prompted for a disk drive from which to read the
Windows 3.1 drivers. Insert Portman PC/S Drivers disk into
your floppy disk drive, and, if necessary, enter the disk drive
specification in the prompt box. Enter OK.
8. When the “Add Unlisted or Updated Driver” Window pops up,
select the “Midiman PORTMAN PC/S” and enter OK.
9. Portman driver set-up dialog box will then appear. It will
allow you to set up Portman driver to match your system con-
figuration.
The Portman driver is smart enough to detect which serial
(COM) ports are available in your system and allow you to
select one from the “Serial Port” list box. You also have the
option of selecting “none,” which is handy if you would like to
leave the driver installed while the Portman hardware is not
physically connected to your system.
Some systems, for one reason or another, use non-standard
I/O addresses and/or IRQ lines. In this case, the “Advanced”
set-up will allow you to set the exact base address and IRQ for
your hardware.
Warning:
Be careful when using the advanced set-up. Be
aware that an incorrect setting may result in your computer
behaving erratically. If there is any question about what your
advanced settings should be, consult the computer’s user’s
guide or manufacturer directly.
10. Once the proper set-up is selected, enter OK.
11. In order for Windows to install the new driver completely, you
need to exit and restart Windows.
12. Once you restart Windows and run your MIDI application(s)
for the first time after installing the Portman driver, you will
need to set up each MIDI application in order to use Portman as
the selected interface. From within the application(s), select the
Midiman Portman PC/S as the current MIDI device (the selec-
tion procedure will depend on the application) in order for the
application to communicate with your Portman interface prop-
erly.
