Midi Stuff
By Charles Kossman

A few months ago, I wrote in asking for help about How to connect up my Mac 11cx to my Yamaha Keyboard in order to be able to Download Music and tunes so as to play the Music on the Keyboard.

Unfortunately, as often happens (to me) or occasionally anyway, I misplaced or threw out the infoformation and the detailed reply that I had received. I now can't find it anywhere in this Computer. Anyway, I still have the Original question and have edited it a little.

Here it is:
**********************************************************
I have a PASSPORT MIDI INTERFACE, a Yamaha Keyboard Model # PSR 6300, a Mac 11cx & the Cables to Connect it all up .I bought a 2nd Hand 100mb Hard disk about 4 years ago & there was Quite a lot of Public Domain Musical Stuff on it. was able then to play some tunes, Marches, Nursery Rhymes, and Melodies etc on my Computer then (But not on the Yamaha).The tunes were in the Disks.(The Computer I had then was a Mac Plus).It would be terrific if someone would let me know how to make the Music that was in my Computer then come out through my Yamaha Keyboard.The Keyboard still has the Midi and wires Connected. I Connected it all once but I couldn't seem to make it do anything. so ...

I took all the stuff off the Drive and put it onto Disks I still have the disks but have never done anything about it. Every so often I noticed stuff coming down through the net which i might somehow (with some Instruction) try to get into my Computer and play through the Yamaha keyboard

Maybe the stuff from the Mac Plus wont even work on the 11cx ?

Should I look further into this or just give it all up?
