Re: motu mtp av oldest possible drver
MTP AV serial or USB? Nevermind, even the USB version has Mac and Net serial ports. You need a Mac printer cable to connect – it's wired differently than a modem cable though, back in the day, you could buy switcher boxes to make either compatible (I threw mine out 10 years ago).
System 7? Really? Hmmmm... I think you can get FreeMIDI that goes back that far... All I see is 1.48 for OS 9. I don't know how far back it's compatible but I'm pretty sure it worked in OS 8 and would be surprised if it doesn't work for you. Look for Legacy Macs in the downloads.

If you don't know Macintosh Garden yet, you need to:

If you search Digital Performer, you'll see a link to 1.71 that ran on System 6-OS8. If complete (and Free MIDI doesn't run on System 7) a version of Free MIDI that does run should be available.
