VB 6.0 (USB mounting issue with midi interface and other hardware)

Post by eaeriel »

I have a midi interface that runs on USB 2.0 (Emagic AMT8) that I am trying to use under Windows 2000 (also tried XP). It did work in Parallels 8 for years and I've tried some other platforms like Wine but the software I use (Sounddiver) is buggy in Wine.

In any case in VB I've tried both windows 2000 and windows xp, but neither will connect to my midi interface via usb (both say "failed to connect" when selecting the device from the vb usb menu. Other usb devices such as a thumb drive experience the same issue, except the thumb drive is actually greyed out , whereas the midi interface is not.

I've read over the usb filter instructions multiple times - tried unplugging the midi interface while loading XP after creating a filter in VB. No dice.


INFO:
OSX 10.12 (no upgrades)
version 6.0 with 6.0 guest additions installed
extension pack installed
memory: 2Gigs
USB 2.0 (system installs root hub fine in XP and 2000)
I am in 32 bit (this is 2000 and XP guests) but host (OSX 10.12.1) can launch apps in 64 or 32.
