'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

I ran into a similar problem, perhaps the same one, trying to install Cubasis 2.0 (which said it will work under OSX, but didn't have the nifty blue X badge...). Now I can't even fire up Cubasis at all, Used to, before I tried to configure OMS (and FreeMIDI, which was a disaster). Re-install, no dice. Something about "Cannot find external source" or some such.

I gave up.

Am now multi-tracking audio using Amadeus and iTunes (which is pretty darn cool!). So now I keep mixing down (bouncing) to .wav and finally to .mp3, with effects limited to the appropriate tracks. Synched and everything!

But I'll have to solve the MIDI problem later. You know, when a sub $1K solution hits the bricks.
