    Worked fine when I did it.  Don't remember how but I think I had to make
it the default driver and then restart.  But that might have been MA1....

    I remember it being painful for both MA1 and MA2 emulators

    Its still on my computer and called "Yamaha MA-2 Synthesizer."  It may only
work on Windows 95/98 .... it may not have worked on the NT/2000 line.
I faintly recall this ini file.  And it was with some kind of Java development kit.

    I have no idea what to do if you have Win XP....

    Recently I only used the MA3 emulator and that worked like a charm.
No restart or funky stuff needed.... YAAAYYY!  Maybe you can use that
one if its backwards compatible.

    Your best bet when developing with MA2 is to test directly on the target
device once you start using MA2 data.  It'll save you a lot of time of
emulator/target device incompatibility issues.  But.......

    I remember some documentation that came with it was helpful.  And I do
recall using it and it working in the end and being very happy but that was a year
or three ago.  I was so glad when I didn't have to always upload it to the phone.
