Default External MIDI?

I have an old Roland PMA-5 portable midi sequencer/synth (basically a newer, portable version of the SC-55) hooked up to my windows 7 machine.

It actually has great sound, and I've gotten some beautiful music from it.
I had to install the coolsoft VirtualMIDISynth in order to use its midimapper functions on Win7. I got it so I could play midi songs via windows media player, and have DOS games like Space Quest output to the PMA_5.

What I would *like* to do is output EQ's MIDI to the PMA-5. I know not all the audio is in MIDI-compatible format, and I'm fine with that outputting "normally". But for the midi music, I'd just like to hear it through my external midi.

I also have an MT-32, which I'm tempted to try it with, but EQ would have been at the end of the MT-32's popularity period, so is less likely to be compatible (the beautiful and famous MT-32 was pre "general midi").

So does anyone know of a way I can do this? Has anyone done it? Any suggestions would be welcome.

PS - I've got an old K-6 300mhz Win98 PC that will have an AWE-32 back in it once I replace the memory card sockets; I'm tempted to hook the MT-32 to that and try it, but I'm pretty sure Titanium EQ will run like molasses, at best, on that slow of a machine.
