If you wish to experiment with Windows XP using a Malibu, here are (strictly
*unsupported*) instructions:

- Win XP will automatically install the Malibu using the Crystal WDM drivers
  from the Win XP CD-ROM.  

- Digital audio playback / record, Wavetable MIDI and FM MIDI are all 
  functional.

- For the MIDI In function to work, an IRQ needs to be assigned to the
  MPU-401.  The procedure is similar to Win 9x.

1.  Right click on My Computer, click properties.
2.  Click on the Hardware tab.
3.  Click on Device Manager.
4.  Click the + in front of Sound, video and game controllers to expand 
      the list.
5.  Right click on Crystal WDM MPU-401 Compatible, and click properties.
6.  Click on Resources.
7.  Uncheck Use Automatic Settings.
8.  Change Settings Based on: to Basic Configuration 0004.
9.  Click on Interrupt Request.
10. Click Change Setting.
11. Change value to an IRQ (5,7,9,or 11) that will not conflict with any 
      other devices in the system. 

NOTES:

- The Wavestream software synthesizer will not install, as the program 
  requires that Win 9x be installed.  

- The SRS Surround feature will not install, as it requires that Win 9x 
  be installed.

- The RCA Digital S/PDIF Out will not function. 

- The Microsoft Soft Synth does install but there is a MIDI delay.
