After checking an online copy of the MPU-IPC manual from Roland's website, I saw that the Port/IRQ configuration that the MPU-IPC uses is 330 on IRQ 2/9.  Is this the only configuration option, or can it be changed manually, either through the Windows Device Manager or through switching jumpers? 

I think I may recall reading somewhere that the setup mentioned above is the only one allowed for the MPU-IPC, and that only the MPU-IPC-T or later supported changing the port and IRQ settings?

I've never seen an MPU-IPC card, but it will either have holes where shunts can be installed, or circuit traces that can be modified. In either case, soldering is required.

The MIF-IPC and MIF-IPC-A are designed with this in mind, because has silkscreening around an area where a dipswithc box could be installed to change the I/O and IRQ settings.  I believe the MPU-IPC card is designed in exactly the same way.  In either case, not only will you have to solder something in, you will also have to scratch away three traces on the card.  I am very reluctant to do either to my MIF-IPC-A, especially as game software very often expect the original settings.  I have had no problem with using IRQ2 in games, even in Windows where it is also used for ACPI.
