'oms Setup' Persistently Freezes On New Dual 867, Same problem on 2 new G4s Options

[Dunepilot]

Somebody pelase help me - I'm a fairly inexperienced user, but have been running logic 4.8.something on my Lombard Powerbook for a little over a year now, not really understanding OMS and not using MIDI that much, but i now have a brand new machine and would like to hook up either

a) my midiman midisport 1x1 usb interface
b) my roland edirol pc-300 controller keyboard

to my new G4.

When I try to run OMS Setup it freezes after trying to find some interface or other, very early on in the proceedings. The obvious things like paring down to the basic extensions haven't helped me at all.

I have to run under OS 9 because none of my software is for OS X unfortunately, but this is getting frustrating. Any help would be MUCH appreciated

Don' know if i can be a lot of help, but you have my sympathy. I use an Edirol SC-D70 module which has a midi and audio interface. Requires OMS for best results. By the way, did you try to use Logic without going into the Environment window yet? I got that suggestion from someone on the site, and I was able to get some stuff recorded; audio and midi and while just working with the factory setup it started to make more sense. Do you have OMS configured? I'd try not even bothering with an autosong for now. Just configure OMS setup and go. I still have trouble accessing my instruments/patches. Every tuturial is for Platinum it seems and I'm running the lowly Silver. What version do you use?

Yeah, I have no idea about how to understand the Environment, but I have bought a book on Logic and was hoping to really get to grips with the software. The fact that I now can't even run the 'setup' of OMS is frustrating.

That's where the problem lies, I can't even "configure the OMS setup and go" on this machine due to the repeatable freeze(though I had no problems on my Lombard Powerbook 333 under OS 9.1).

I have also tried installing OMS for the same purpose on a new dual-867 bought by a friend of mine for music. Eactly the same freeze. This makes me wonder is therre's a harware fault with the current G4s, even connected to the usb ports maybe?

When it does work, I'll be running Logic Silver 4.8.

Thanks for any replies
