MIDI interfaces - supported sound card and MIDI interfaces (Sequencer Plus 4.11)
The following VAPI drivers are included as part of Sequencer Plus 4.11, except
as noted.  "**" denotes "ganged" output, which means the external MIDI port
AND the internal wavetable synth play together.

 (Aside from Multisound Classic, we do not support these cards in Sequencer

  in DOS properly for use with the vapiMPU driver- which will only work on 
  the lower IRQ's on these cards.)

Notes: 

Devices designed later than 1994 are unlikely to work, unless the device is 
internal and the MIDI port is MPU-401-compatible in DOS. 

FM synthesizer sound cards will generically work with Sapi!OPL ("SuperSapi"),
SapiOPL3 (for the 4 op Yamaha chip) and SapiFM1 (for the older 2 op).  Voyetra
often labeled the FM "SAPI" drivers for their respective manufacturers, but
all except ESS use the actual Yamaha FM chipset.  (FM emulation should work
with the typical Yamaha OPL driver in most cases.)

Wavetable Synthesis sound cards appearing after this time may have the Synth
chip "ganged" with the MPU-401-style MIDI port.  These cards include Ensoniq &
Roland, but NOT Creative AWE- or SB- series.  Sometimes MIDI Headers would be
accessed in this manner (which would include the Creative cards just
mentioned).

VAPI MIDI drivers generally search for the IRQ, excepting the VapiMPU.com
driver- which searches the lower IRQ's.  Sometimes a driver can be loaded on
an upper IRQ with the /irq:xx command line, such as 

  VAPIMPU /IRQ:12 /addr:330

however, there are often modern cards that will not work with our drivers on
an upper IRQ, and therefore it would be advised that you alter the IRQ to be
below 9.  (For those who don't know, IRQ 2 = IRQ 9 in the IBM-compatible PC
world.)

NOTE:
    These MIDI Interfaces were designed for DOS and Windows 3.1. 
    They may not install or perform as expected in later Operating Systems.
