How to connect Miracle piano Keyboard?

I have an old Miracle piano Keyboard and tried to connect its midi thru Tascam USB122. But it is not being recognized by midi setup. I tried midi in and out cables. Then midi in to out only. Still doesn't work.
Is it necessary to have a driver for the keyboard to connect.
This is a very old keyboard.

Have you tested the keyboard elsewhere? Maybe it's just bad.

it is working fine with my Powermac 7300/200 playing miracle software, connected with the miracle cable to printer port. It was running ok in my pc thru creative Audigy 2 ZS thru midi ports.
Somehow It doesn't on my mac OS X.
I understand mac should be able to recognize the midi signal, regardless of the drive.

Do you have the latest Tascam driver? Did choose the US-122 in GB preferences? Did you check Audio/MIDI set up app?

You don't select the the Tascam in GB's prefs, for MIDI, there's nothing to select, that's only for Audio.

Mokemon,

Make sure you have configured your midi setup in Audio Midi Setup. If you have a midi interface connected and compatible drivers are loaded, the interface should automatically show up in the Audio Midi Setup: Midi pane. You then have to add your keyboard and draw the connections to it. See Mac OS X 10.3 Help: Describing your MIDI system for instructions.
Note: Audio Midi Setup also has a "Test Midi" function that will tell you if the keyboard is transmitting midi in the first place.

Hope this gets you going.

I've just been given such a keyboard but no software for my (old OS9) Mac. Might it be possible for you to image the floppy disk(s) and eMail them to me? Thanks in advance.
