Here you can download the original PCMIDI utilities and manual as well as the newer version quick setup guide.

Keep in mind no drivers are needed for DOS.

Please use the "PCMIDI Windows 3.1x / Win9x driver v1.02" native hardware driver for Windows environments - last item in the list below.
Alternatively Windows 3.x , 9x and ME include the "Roland MPU-401" driver which works perfectly with PCMIDI.

There are alternative drivers listed below that offer more features but they are aimed for serious usage under windows environment, there is no guarantee they will behave well in other situations.
