Title: Edirol UM-1 MIDI installer for MacOS 9 won't execute
Post by: ametts on December 26, 2016, 05:45:24 PM
Hi folks,

Roland posts a MacOS 9 driver for their UM-1 MIDI Interface here [1].  The download is posted as a .tgz file and not a Stuffit archive.

Stuffit (the default version in the MacOS9Lives image) expands the file, but the driver installers (the "Driver E" files) just show up as non-executable documents. Can anyone help me get past this?  Presumably there are three potential solutions:

--1-- Suggest a better location to download UM-1 MIDI drivers for MacOS9 -- perhaps as a Mac-friendly Stuffit archive.

--2-- Suggest a better way to extract the .tgz file within MacOS 9, so that the original executable status is preserved.

--3-- Suggest a way to make the non-executable documents actually execute (assuming the files aren't corrupted in some other way).

Thanks in advance,
Allan

https://www.roland.com/global/support/by_product/um-1/updates_drivers/ (https://www.roland.com/global/support/by_product/um-1/updates_drivers/)
it is the same archive. we would need the creator information and so on and just maybe you can make it useful again.
if you have a older version look at the creator infos and use them on this installer it might work.
the other 2 files are settings you might be able to import them with the apps and resave each one to get them back to normal.
try that

Any progress with this? I also downloaded the driver from Roland but it has the resource fork missing. Claims to be a simpletext document.

I'n having the same problem. I just bought two of these interfaces. I hope that doesn't mean even more $$$ down the drain.

The UM2EX driver for OS9 works fine, but it's not the same interface. Maybe that package will help with hacking the old UM-1 drivers?

i just retrieved this file from the japanese support site
at the following URL:
https://www.roland.com/jp/support/updates_drivers/t_z/

should support the following different models of the um-1 family:
EDIROL UM-1
UM-1S
UM-1X
UM-1SX
UM-1EX

seems to contain both the oms + freemidi settings aswell

i have the original UM880 CD that came with my Edirol/Roland UM-880
when im able to find it i can upload a full iso of that - i believe it has the um-1 drivers on it aswell
the installer is marked as Driver-J or whatever so it may come up in japanese.. should try to find the Driver-E or Driver-F installers aswell (french + english)

The UM-550 drivers (OMS & FreeMidi) are also part of the UM-880 CD rom.

With thanks to ChrisNova777.

I know this is an ancient thread but I wanted to point out that someone uploaded the driver disc image for the UM-1 (PC/MAC) here:

https://archive.org/details/Roland_Corporation_UM-1_Driver_CDROM_WinMac_2000

So now we have access to a working English installer again :)

(the link to the UM-880 ISO on the oldschooldaw.com forum is dead)
