'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

Okay, I have a workaround!

I was able to get OMS to recognise my Midiman 1x1 interface and add a generic device to it using OMS setup on my G3 powerbook. I then saved the OMS setup details as an OMS setup document to the hard drive of my Powerbook, then simply copied the file over to my new dual-G4 Powermac, which proceeded to work perfectly.

Result!

But why would OMS setup freeze on the G4 and not on a similar OS installation on my Powerbook? Puzzling....
