Greetingz Dave!
I use a Midiman Midisport 2x2 on Linux and Winblow's. It works well,
has never let me down and is easy to use. I bought it on Ebay for about
$25.00US a few years ago. Only problem wiht most of them I hear is
booting up Linux with USB midi device is a problem but not because of
the box. And, of course....I Linux WE NEVER have to reboot right?? :)
