Hi. I do have two questions somewhat pertaining to PD. I got a Dell PC that comes with built in Intel i8x0 sound card. I have to utilize that PC somewhat to run PD and Jmax. As far as I know, the alsa driver for this sound card does not provide MIDI support.
First question. What sound card would you recommend such that it would be relatively inexpensive, provide alsa support for both MIDI and Audio and work fine with PD ?
Second question. Does PD (and Jmax) run on freebsd or is it restricted to Linux, osX, Irix and Windows?
Best Regards ... Jarek

I guess (although I don't know this specific model) the problem is that the laptop does not have a gameport. Otherwise you could use serial, paralell or usb midi interfaces.

most of them are ok ask again when you have specific models or requirements in mind

someone (Karl ?) did a bsd port some time ago, I compiled pd in summer on a freebsd box basically by changing the endianess isues to 'it's like NT'
but you'll lose alsa and (maybe) usb midi support.
hope that helps,

I'm running pd on a Dell Inspiron 2500 with the Intel i8x0...the only driver for it is commercial OSS, but I would check it out, it's cheap. And it works.
