Bars & Pipes will run, but you won't currently be able to interface with external MIDI hardware.

E-UAE's serial and parallel port emulation is currently without drivers to talk to the host's serial and parallel ports. (I don't even know how you'd hook MIDI hardware up to a Mini, since it doesn't have a serial port. Is it possible to buy a USB MIDI dongle?)


Well, I can answer that one: yes, there are USB MIDI interfaces (not sure if they're
multiport like my Triple Play Plus and One Stop Music Shop).

Well, maybe there's a solution with my Powerbook, which has a serial port (although I was never able to get a Mac multiport MIDI interface to work with it; plug-and-play
the Mac wasn't!)

Thanks for the info, though!
