[Coco] Drivewire?

I checked the "used midi" it was on... then a little while later... after 2 or 3 restarts from errors... it was on. There's something funky 'bout the whole midi menu thing though. When I use the MS GS wavetable or mapper, I get nothing sometimes... it stutters others, Jave sound worked fine. Then I discovered if I call it with DW cmds... it works fine. I've tried it several times. On old version as well as new... could be my system though. The PC I'm using is old and has problems. I may try reinstalling my soundcard since I hadn't used it in about 3 or 4 years, It may have some currupted dlls. I don't normally use this PC for sound and my studio PC has no serial port. I should have one is a couple of weeks
Any suggestions on a good USB 2 Serial? I'll be running a quad core AMD with windows vista.

Now to the errors I was getting... seems the Library browser has a file limit on how many disks can be in a directory. I have some direcotries that crash drivewire while I'm just scrolling in the left pane with nothing in the viewer. I may need to sort the disks and make smaller dirs. These were pretty big as I was sorting them to sub-dirs and this was my presort-viewing dir. The error pane said somethin about "too many"... can't remember. Next time I'll copy it and past it for ya.

All -in all though... looks good.... still beats the hell out of my flakey floopy drives.

 I just got the new drivewire version going and I'm wondering... how do I 
ccess the new features and is there a list?

The Library tool is where most of the new features are.  Right click
n Local and add a directory with disks in it, and you should see many
ew things are possible.  You can browse through the contents of
isks, see files and pictures, etc.

ccess the control of the Midi though DW commands but no Menu.

Sounds like "Use Midi" is turned off?  That is what triggers the menu
tems to grey out.
