This one seems to be my main ongoing contribution to this board.
Yours is NOT a unique problem. Lots of Mac users had no luck with Freeloader, but all you need to do is get another sys-ex player. Start here:

There are at least a couple of alternate programs you can track down. For me, there's one simply called SysEx that worked flawlessly; that was when I was using a direct serial cable connection. A few others using standard MIDI cables had better luck with OMS Sys-Ex Sender. Good luck!
: Just bought the QS8.1 and two Q-cards. When I try to launch Freeloader (both versons 1.0 and 1.1 which is on the Q-card cd) it causes the computer to lock up.
: I am running MacOS 9.1 on an 8600 Power Mac. Has anyone else had this experience, or better yet found a way around it?
