 +===== Problems... =====
 +
 +**[Update 13/June/2021]** - Unfortunately, it looks like the M-Audio Uno interface that I picked up is a different revision to the one being used on my 386, and it throws errors whenever an MT-32 game loads:
 +
 +{{:blog:286:img20210613161944.jpg?400|}}
 +
 +... in addition to the error message the instruments don't get set correctly and notes are missing or stuck during music playback.
 +
 +**[Update 14/June/2021]** - Bought a Roland UM One mk2 MIDI interface to replace the M-Audio Uno. This is on the MT32-Pi compatability list, so fingers crossed it should solve the problems described above.
