[comp.sys.apple2] MIDI Toolbox problems - someone help PLEASE!!

dat33228@uxa.cso.uiuc.edu (Derek A. Taubert) (10/03/90)

  I'm in a real hole here...

I can't for the life of me figure out why the MIDI tool just stops receiving
after a short time of receiving data.  I've used the input routine and I've
used ReadPacket in a loop, but it hangs on me for no apparent reason, (the
toolbox stops writing to the buffer, the program continues) and I have to go
back as far as reloading the midi driver to get the thing to do the same
all over again.

HELP!!!!

I can send you code, this has gone on long enough...

No guarantees, but if you're still stuck I'll try out your code.  I've been
meaning to learn more about MIDI anyway.... ( 1/2 :-)
