After a lot of trials I have it working perfectly on a modern 64 bit pc.
It took some effort to get it set up but it's worth it. The "XP fix"
could no longer be found or purchased but using my method you don't need
it.
Here's a summary of what I did.
Install Dosbox (a special build that has midi input)
Install windows 3.11 in dosbox
Install piano discovery system and get everything up and running (the
sounds were poor quality and laggy)
Install virtualmidisynth with your choice of soundfont.
Voila. Runs perfectly with a USB maudio axiom 61. No lag. Great sound.
I'd be glad to help anyone who needs it.
Congratulations on your perseverance...! (:-))
I gather that you have the original lessons and games driving virtualmidisynth? Quite neat if you can do that. What's your opinion of those lessons?
From roaming the Web, it seems that a lot of thought was put into them.
Seems a shame that they've been lost to history. I wonder how tightly
the materials are tied into the code, and whether they could be separated
out and made OS agnostic.
Not clear if you have the original K/B, as you say you're using a nice
Axiom. [I love mine!]
